										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>INTACH Delhi chapter has undertaken restoration work in Mehrauli Archeological Park. Kudos to them for some excellent work.<br />
I have been there many times but never saw these two tombs which have been recently unearthed from centuries of neglect.</p>
<p>As I walked into the Park from the Qutub Sahab ki Dargah side I was pleasantly surprised to find this kalash peeping out.<a href="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145650.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-554" src="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145650-168x300.jpg?resize=168%2C300" alt="wpid-20141022_145650.jpg" width="168" height="300" data-recalc-dims="1" /><span style="color: #000000;">A little further down and the full glory of another tomb being restored burst on me</span></a><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145856.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-555" src="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145856-300x233.jpg?resize=300%2C233" alt="wpid-20141022_145856.jpg" width="300" height="233" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145916.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-556" src="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_145916-300x168.jpg?resize=300%2C168" alt="wpid-20141022_145916.jpg" width="300" height="168" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>Work going on inside this tomb</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Rajo&#8217;n ki Baoli is one of my favourite places in Mehrauli Archeological Park and right opposite it was a mound with a small chatri peeping out. To my surprise I saw this beautiful tomb structure with underground cells. Probably used as a madarsa</p>
<p><a href="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_150209.jpg"><img decoding="async" data-attachment-id="560" data-permalink="https://ranasafvi.com/random-pictures/germany-1104/" data-orig-file="https://ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/germany-1104.jpg" data-orig-size="1920,1080" data-comments-opened="1" data-image-meta="{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;5.6&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;DSC-T90&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1347229265&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;7.94&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;80&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0025&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}" data-image-title="germany 1104" data-image-description="" data-image-caption="" data-medium-file="https://ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/germany-1104-300x169.jpg" data-large-file="https://ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/germany-1104-1024x576.jpg" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-560" src="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_150209-300x168.jpg?resize=300%2C168" alt="wpid-20141022_150209.jpg" width="300" height="168" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>Maulvi Zafar Hasan calls this a Pathan monument which means it was built during the Lodi period. The blue tiles on the tomb given earlier confirm this. He describes it as :</p>
<p>&#8220;The tomb is a domed chatri and occupies the centre of a raised enclosure containing numerous graves.The walls of the enclosure are broken with arched recesses and have octoganal bastions at each of the four angles, The chatri which measures 19&#8242; by 6&#8242; square and stands on a platform 4&#8242; by 4&#8242; is crowned by a dome supported on 12 stone piers.&#8221;</p>
<p>God Bless INTACH for rescuing this beautiful monument<a href="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_150523.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-562" src="https://i0.wp.com/ranasafvi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/wpid-20141022_150523.jpg?resize=2000%2C706" alt="wpid-20141022_150523.jpg" width="2000" height="706" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a>I  must thank Asif Khan Dehlvi for taking me there<br />
I hope INTACH can restore all the monuments dying inch by inch in Delhi and other parts of India</p>
