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.
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.
Entry
to
this
monument
is
free.
