 Testament to History,meharauli bazaar,mosque, tombs, baolis, gardens, moghul architecture, delhi heritage, indian ...
Apart from the Lal Kot ramparts and the Qutb complex, there are numerous other old monuments in Mehrauli worth exploring, though of varying historical or architectural interest and in varying states of repair or neglect-mosque, tombs, baolis, gardens scattered about in the DDA parkland or half-buried in the natural undergrowth.
Close to the tomb is an unidentified walled enclosure with arched entrance, tomb and wall-mosque and traces of a water course and fountain which suggest it was a garden tomb complex.
Till then the best approach is to proceed along the Mehrauli Bypass as far as Andheria Mor (or what's left of it after the demolition of illegal structures in 2000), and then take the sharp right turn along the road lined with market stalls that marks the southern extremity of Mehrauli Bazaar.
