Not very big, but looks stunning

I had to walk through narrow lanes to reach here but it was worth. Locals helped me alot and guided me for the place. There are total 4 graves, two of them are graves of kids of Razia Sultan's Sister who's grave is beside Razia Sultan. There's also a Mosque. ASI is not able to renovate this place because of the narrow lanes. It's impossible for the machines and equipments to reach the place.

Reaching Razia Sultan's tomb can be a treasure hunt, especially for first-timers. Google Maps might not be your best guide, but don't hesitate to ask friendly locals for directions. They'll be happy to point you towards this hidden gem. Seeing the condition of the tomb can be bittersweet. While its architecture whispers of a glorious past, the present state reveals the need for restoration. Razia's tomb doubles as a masjid, adding to its unique atmosphere. However, one can't help but feel a pang of sadness for the condition of the resting place of Delhi's only female sovereign. Despite the challenges, visiting Razia Sultan's tomb is a powerful experience. Paying respects to this remarkable woman, who defied gender norms and carved her own path in history, is truly inspirational. May she find eternal peace in the highest gardens of Paradise. Remember, the caretaker might close the gate at any time, so plan your visit accordingly. It's best to call ahead or arrive early to ensure you don't miss out on this piece of Delhi's rich heritage.

It is very hard to reach her grave from streets of purani dilli (old delhi). Best part is the first femal ruler of Delhi Sultanat Razia Sultan's Grave is still preserved and has mosque attached to it near shrine of sufi saint turkman shah bayabani (spiritual guru of razia sultan). It is said the locals of Delhi have killed Razia Sultana in an attempt of loot.

Raziat-ud-Dunya wa ud-Din (died 15 October 1240, r. 1236–1240), popularly known as Razia Sultan, was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in the northern part of India. subcontinent. She was the first female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent and the only female Muslim ruler of Delhi. Razia's tomb is located in Mohalla Bulbuli Khana near Turkman Gate in Old Delhi. The 14th-century traveller, Ibn Battuta, mentions that Razia's tomb had become a place of pilgrimage, with a dome built over it, and people seeking blessings from it. Razia's tomb is said to have been built by her successor and half-brother Bahram. Another grave, said to be that of his sister Shazia, is located next to his grave. Razia was a devotee of the Sufi saint Shah Turkman Bayabani and the place where she was buried is called her hermitage (khanqah). Today, the site is largely neglected: the Archaeological Survey of India maintains it annually, but is unable to beautify it as it is surrounded by illegal construction, and is accessible only through a narrow, congested lane. . At the end of the 20th century, local residents built a mosque near it. A ruined building at Kaithal is believed to be the site of Razia's original grave.

It was nice to visit this tomb. One can imagine as how much old it would be by watching the stones of tomb. Tomb is not much spacious. It is situated in a very narrow place and you have pass through very narrow and dirty street. You would not be able to imagine to find this tomb at the end of the street.

1. Access : The location is right but the access is wrong. Since there have been many visits, it is clear that it is not hard to find. But there is ONLY ONE WAY IN AND OUT. It would be impossible for Google Maps to verify so I am not putting it. I am only putting (what has also been posted earlier) as the starting point of the VERY VERY NARROW lane that lead to the maqbara/tomb. 2. Maintenance : Fantastic though not well maintained. It is clean inside and like a regular mosque, there is water to clean oneself before entering. The Archaeological Survey of India (or whoever protects monuments) needs to do a better job. The plaques were not clear and some have cement "drops" over the writings. Like a regular mosque, you have to remove your shoes before going in. 3. Comments : There are TWO graves. The plaque outside attributes one to Razia Sultan but the second is not attributed. One lone person who walked out of the tomb while I was there mentioned the well known Yakut as the person. Again, THIS IS NOT ATTRIBUTED on the plaque. Purely for history interest, this is a place one must visit to feel at home in Delhi. Highly recommended. The people who live in these congested parts are helpful and will direct you to find it.

The tomb of Razia Sultan, the only woman to have ruled Delhi, lies in the area known as Bulbulikhana. The route here is a little convoluted, through very narrow winding lanes that slope slightly upwards. The tomb itself, despite being that of a Sultan, is nothing impressive: the enclosure just contains two large cenotaphs made of random rubble masonry, completely unornamented and unmarked. One tomb is supposed to be Razia's, the other is unidentified, though local belief has it that it is the tomb of Razia's sister Sazia. Within the tomb enclosure is a small mosque which is of recent provenance and is functional. If you're stepping into the mosque area, please make sure you remove your footwear.

Roads are narrow, but overall OK.

The grave of Razia is located at Mohalla Bulbuli Khana near Turkman Gate in Old Delhi. The 14th century traveler Ibn Batuta mentions that Razia's tomb had become a pilgrimage centre: A dome had been built over it, and people sought blessings from it.

Sultan Raziyyat-Ud-Dunya Wa Ud-Din (r. 1236–1240), popularly known as Razia Sultana, was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate in the northern part of the Indian subcontinent. She was the first female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent, and the first female Muslim ruler of Delhi. A daughter of Mamluk Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, Razia administered Delhi during 1231–1232 when her father was busy in the Gwalior campaign. According to a possibly apocryphal legend, impressed by her performance during this period, Iltutmish nominated Razia as his heir apparent after returning to Delhi. Iltutmish was succeeded by Razia's half-brother Ruknuddin Firuz, whose mother Shah Turkan planned to execute her. During a rebellion against Ruknuddin, Razia instigated the general public against Shah Turkan, and ascended the throne after Ruknuddin was deposed in 1236. Razia's ascension was challenged by a section of nobles, some of whom ultimately joined her, while the others were defeated. The Turkic nobles who supported her expected her to be a figurehead, but she increasingly asserted her power. This, combined with her appointments of non-Turkic officers to important posts, led to their resentment against her. She was deposed by a group of nobles in April 1240, after having ruled for less than four years. She married one of the rebels – Ikhtiyaruddin Altunia – and attempted to regain the throne, but was defeated by her half-brother and successor Muizuddin Bahram in October that year, and was killed shortly after.

Great unexplored historical site in old Delhi.Razia Sultana was a notable figure in Indian history, serving as the Sultan of Delhi from 1236 to 1240. She was the first woman to ascend to the throne of the Delhi Sultanate.

Close to 1000 year old monument and no fan fare about it. One needs a lot of determination to get till here through the myriad of lanes. Unfortunately one only has the evidence of the Archeology board and the ancestral word of mouth of the locals as to the authenticity of this tomb. I mean there is no epitaph or engraving or any other visible evidences to prove it. I am sure the Archeology department has some base to their claim , if so why not display the source of the claim to the visitors. There are 2 large Graves ( a larger one presumed to be Razia's sister and a relatively smaller one of Razia.) and 2 unknown kids Graves. Subjective feedback - To reach here one has to travel with endurance, but upon reaching there one feels at peace.

A small place surrounded by a residencial colony. It has a small mosque attached to it so the environment is quiet mostly. There's not much to see. Only a few graves built in old (early 13th century) architectural style.

Razia Sultan's tomb lies unpretentious, unattended and unsung near Turkman Gate in Chandni Chowk. Razia Sultan ruled Delhi from 1236 to 1240. She was not only trained to manage the army but also administer kingdom if necessary. Despite being a trailblazer for women, Razia Sultan finds little place in history...

Raziya al-Din (r. 1236–1240), popularly known as Razia Sultana, was a ruler of the Delhi Sultanate  in the northern part of the India subcontinent. She is notable for being the first female Muslim ruler of South Asia. A daughter of Mamluk Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, Razia administered Delhi during 1231-1232 when her father was busy in the Gwalior campaign. According to a possibly apocryphal legend, impressed by her performance during this period, Iltutmish nominated Razia as his heir apparent  after returning to Delhi. Iltutmish was succeeded by Razia's half-brother Ruknuddin firuz, whose mother Shah Turkan planned to execute her. During a rebellion against Ruknuddin, Razia instigated the general public against Shah Turkan, and ascended the throne after Ruknuddin was deposed in 1236. Razia's ascension was challenged by a section of nobles, some of whom ultimately joined her, while the others were defeated. The Turkic nobles who supported her expected her to be a figurehead, but she increasingly asserted her power. This, combined with her appointments of non-Turkic officers to important posts, led to their resentment against her. She was deposed by a group of nobles in April 1240, after having ruled for less than 4 years. She married one of the rebels - Ikhtiyaruddin Altunia - and attempted to regain the throne, but was defeated by her half-brother and successor muizzuddin Bahram  Luiz Uddingston Bahram  in October that year, and was killed shortly after. Razia's name is also transliterated as Raḍiyy 1 or Raziyya .2 The term "Sultana", used by some modern writers, is a misnomer as it means "the king's wife" rather than "female ruler". Razia's own coins call her Sultan Jalalat al-Duniya wal-Din or as al-Sultan al-Muazzam Raziyat al-Din bint al-Sultan. The Sanskrit-language inscriptions of the Sultanate call her Jallaladina, while near-contemporary historian Minhaj  calls her Sultan Raziyat al-Duniya wa'l Din bint al-Sultan.3 Razia was born to the Delhi Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, a Turkic  slave (mamluk) of his predecessor Qutb al-Din Aibak. Razia's mother - Turkan Khatun - was a daughter of Qutb al-Din Aibak, and the chief wife of Iltutmish Razia was the eldest daughter of Iltutmish, and probably his first-born child. Iltutmish had groomed his eldest son Nasiruddin Mahmud  to be his successor, but this son died unexpectedly in 1229.According to historian Minhaj-i-Siraj, Iltutmish believed that his other sons were absorbed in pleasurable activities, and would be incapable of managing the state affairs after his death. While leaving for his Gwalior  campaigin in 1231, Iltutmish left his daughter Razia as in-charge of Delhi's administration. Razia performed her duties so well that after returning to Delhi, Iltutmish decided to name her as his successor. Iltutmish ordered his officer mushrif-i mamlakat Tajul Mulk Mahmud Dabir to prepare a decree naming Razia as the heir apparent. When his nobles questioned this decision on the basis that he had surviving sons, Iltutmish replied that Razia was

Razia Sultan was the first woman muslim ruler of India. Her region was from 1236-1240 then her own noble rebels killed her. She died in haryana but later she was burried here now called as the Tomb of The Razia Sultan. If you follow Google map to reach her you will reach from back side, so instead Googling ask the local people they will guide you proper way, i did the same. Because i reached from wrong side. Now a days it's not only a historical Tomb but also a mosque is build up here on the name of Razia Sultan. The tomb is preserved by the Archeology department ASI (Archeological Survey of India). I have also uploaded the pics of Delhi ki tang galiyan which heads towards her tomb.

Heritage place in heart of old delhi people must go their nice place

The Only Female Ruler of Delhi Sultanat Razia Sultan's Tomb

One of the most historical figure in India and her tomb is in bad shape. No recogniton. The path to the tomb is too narrow and filthy. Disappointed from ASI and administration.

Go ONLY if you are interested I. History. Not maintained properly. Very ordinary and you will see BUTCHER shop along the way. Difficult to find. Even Google couldn’t give correct way

Razia Sultana, daughter of the Mamluk Sultan Shamsuddin Iltutmish, was the first female Muslim ruler of the subcontinent and the only female Muslim ruler of Delhi. Ruled Delhi from 1236 to 1240. A grave of Razia Sultana and a grave, said to be that of her sister Shazia, are located next to her grave.

Historical place

To reach the grave site, one has to walk through very narrow lanes marix so better keep asking for direction. There is hardly any visitor and the graves lie just within four walls sans roof.

Razia Sultan is one of the most important figure in the history of India. She was the fifth Mamluk Sultan, one of the few female sovereigns ever in the entire history of Islamic civilizations across the world and only female Muslim ruler of the sultanate of Delhi. An excellent administrator and a brave warrior who ascended the throne when the society was extremely patriarchal. The tomb is located in Bulbuli khana near Turkman gate . One can gain access to the tomb location by simply asking the locals or reading the sign boards on the way. The tomb complex is now clean as it has been converted to a mosque. Please take off your shoes before you enter the tomb complex.

Kalan mosque of old Delhi

Very important landmark. Final resting place of Razia Sulatana, who was the first and only female Muslim ruler of the indian subcontinent. Poorly maintained - no possibility of improvement since the tomb is surrounded by a slum. Walking towards the site, you’ll pass through extremely narrow lanes with butcher shops dumping their left overs on the street, piles of garbage and lots of stray animals on the road. It is also extremely difficult to find if you’re not a local. Requires maintenance and the surrounding slums need to be relocated. But I’m giving it 5 stars because of the significance of the site.

It was disheartening to have read of the woman who succeeded her father to the throne, despite her brothers, and to see that even her tomb seems to not be in not such a great condition. Situated within a residential area, the place is small, solemn but neat. It reminds one of the struggles that she faced as a women in the helm of power struggles and of a rather dissolate ending. We reached here after stretches of narrow winding lanes, not sure if I could find it on my own again. There was no waiting. In fact no visitors were there that day. The place also offers as a place for worship. There were some sacred books and the multiple clocks that we often see in mosques.

The grave of Razia is located at Mohalla Bulbuli Khana near Turkman Gate in Old Delhi. The 14th century traveler Ibn Batuta mentions that Razia's tomb had become a pilgrimage centre: A dome had been built over it, and people sought blessings from it.

Here lies the only muslim woman ruler of India.

It's situated in bulbuli khana turkman gate delhi, there's nothing to describe

Narrow street but historical

Great 👍

Sad to see the place totally neglected. No sign boards around. Time the ASI wakes up and does something

Awesome place

Nice

Visit to this place was a great learning lesson- who ever we are or we become but one day all our riches will go away and we will be lost and unknown in people's memories. Untill I reached very close to this place, the residents of this area did not knew about her at all. She was the first female ruler who ruled for about four years and was killed by her brother in Kaithal Haryana. The ruler of her times was buried here and now is lost in the history. A Masjid had been built here long time ago in this small area and all the surrounding area had been encroached. The Imam of the Masjid takes care of the place otherwise this place would have been encroached and lost.

It was ecstatic to visit this place. The final resting place of delhi sultanate's only female ruler. You can feel the peace around you. But it was also hurtful to see the condition of the place. One of the prominent ruler now seems to be forgotten. It was not easy to reach there. It is completely surrounded by buildings. The streets to reach there are so narrow, its difficult to cross them even on a scooter. It can better be reached on foot. Though google maps provide the exact location of the tomb, but the route it provides is not accurate. You have to take help of the locals, as there are no sign boards to direct you to the tomb.

Very difficult to reach this place my suggestions is some sign board to reach this easily
