      Encroached Tombs

      inHazrat-E-Dilli, Medieval Indian History
      0

      In the compound of Hazrat Salahuddin Darwesh Dargah are two gumbad a which are used as a dumpyard  by two families living there.

      This area must have been a much in demand cemetery but now it’s prime land only

      Grave tales
      Been staying here for many years in a house adjacent to Gumbad.
      The Cenotaph has been removed now. i peeped in
      Bricked up
      it seems such a waste of time to erect memorials to death
      Who lay here?
      There are no ghosts here. I asked
      once upon a time loved ones must have lit candles for the dead. souls
      Together in death and desolation
      some more construction planned
      Sheikh Salahuddin Darvesh the saint who pulled other people to make graves here
      Another angle of second gumbad
      living is tiring business. who’s worried about the dead!
      Faizan and friends live behind the tombs
      a green wicket gate to the one room house next to the gumbad
