Overview
Sultan Ghari or Sultan-e-Garhi was the first Islamic Mausoleum dating back to 1231 AD. Constructed for Prince Nasiru'd-Din Mahmud, eldest son of Iltumish in the "funerary landscape of Delhi" in the Nangal Dewat Forest of South Delhi.
The area where the Ghari (meaning: cave) tomb is situated, was part of medieval Delhi known as the Slave Dynasty that ruled during the period 1206 CE to 1290 CE, pre-existed as a Hindu temple from Gurjara-Pratihara era (700 to 1100 CE). This area is now part of the Qutb complex.
The tomb is covered with an octagonal roof made of sandstone and adorned with marble. Surrounding the tomb from the corners are bricked towers giving it a fortress look. The structure is indeed one of the most unique one. There is a steep stairway approaching the tomb with pillars on the side. The 61-acre tomb is built on a Hindu Shrine of the Pratihara era. It thus depicts noticeable traces of ancient Hindu architecture
