👍 Mehrauli is a historical city. It has many Baolis (ancient step well). Qutab Minar is major attraction here. Because it is a old city, garbage n sewage problem is there like any other old city. But in morning only. Local peoples are very friendly, they celebrate each n every festival together. No co...

👍👍 The tomb of Iltutmish, Qutub Minar Complex, was built in 1235 A.D. It is situated just outside the north-west corner of the Quwwat-ul-Islam near the Qutub Minar.

👍👍 One of the hidden gems in this city that was an absolute delight to explore. Recommended route - head from West/North, switch on Google Maps and take the route it shows. You'll end up in a park eventually, cross the gate and keep walking towards the location. In the middle, there'll be a lake view p...

Quadrangular-shaped mosque with Islamic & Hindu architecture built as a fortress from 1351–1388.

👍👍 This building is a square tomb, each side measuring 10.5 meters. The descriptive name clearly points to its structure as a building with 12 pillars. Standing inside, one can see that there are 12 pillars of varying width that support the roof. At one time there were several cenotaphs inside this bui...

👍 This is perhaps the last bastion left to see the old and heritage with new life across a small patch of green belt.

👍 The Chor Minar, tucked away in a quiet neighbourhood near Laxman Public School, dates back to the Khalji period (late 13th-early 14th century). It’s not a huge monument, just a single tower very reminiscent of the kos minars that mark the Grand Trunk Road. It’s broader and taller than a kos minar, t...

Large sandstone monument containing the tomb of the namesake 16th-century Muslim figure.

👍👍 This morning, while in a meeting discussing various locations in Delhi, my client, who was aiming for a Mughal theme for his project, was quite perplexed when I suggested some locations in Mehrauli. Indeed, as is the common misconception, he went on to say that he wanted locations only in Shahjahana...
