At the badly encroached tomb of Shamsuddin Atgha Khan. Akbar’s foster brother and senior minister.
It was built next to Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya and is surrounded by houses on all sides. Approach is through residences too.
Note the swastika on the walls.
Indo Islamic architecture at its best
The residence at the entrance
This must have been a Mehfil Khana for visitors to the tomb
Just some remnants of what must have been beautiful tile work on the outer walls
Decorations on the outside walls
The swastika made by the Indian artisans
Reciting the fatiha for his soul
