When I visited the tomb of Najaf Khan last month I could not determine whether this was just a platform or the tomb itself.
This mausoleum stands in the center of a large garden enclosed with a gateway now in ruins.
It consists of a raised platform originally veneered with sandstone, with two inscribed marble cenotaphs, on its top, traces of which can be seen.
One belongs to Najaf Khan and the other to his daughter Fatima.
The real graves are located in one of the two chambers in the core of the platform. an enclosure wall covers the whole complex.
Najaf Khan was related to the Safvi kings of Persia and came with his sister to the court of Muhamad Shah in 1719 and later entered the services of Shah Alam.
How to Reach
I visited the tomb on my bike but the nearest station on the Delhi Metro is JorBagh on the yellow line, then either walk for 10 minutes or take an auto for INR 20 to reach the tomb.
