Mehrauli Archaeological Park is a tranquil area rich with historical significance. Covering almost 200 acres, this location tells tales from the times of the Khaljis, Tughlaqs, Lodhis, Mughals, and even the British. As visitors explore, they will witness Delhi’s transformation through its unearthed relics and enduring monuments.
- Tomb of Balban - The first stop is the Tomb of Balban, one of the oldest structures in the vicinity. Constructed from robust grey quartzite, this simple yet remarkable building is notable for its flat roof and the rare absence of a dome, diverging from the architectural norms of its era.
- Jahaz Mahal - Next, proceed to Jahaz Mahal, or the “Ship Palace,” named for its reflection in the adjacent waters that once made it appear as a floating ship. Explore its expansive courtyards, appreciate the artistry, and envision the royal events that were once held here.
- Jamali Kamali Tomb and Mosque - Continue to the Jamali Kamali complex. The mosque and tomb of the poet-saint Jamali are beautifully decorated with blue and turquoise tiles, creating a peaceful spiritual atmosphere. Next to it is the smaller tomb of Kamali — whose identity remains unknown but adds to the site’s mystery.
- Rajon Ki Baoli - Conclude at Rajon Ki Baoli, an impressive stepwell designed for water conservation in the arid climate. Its name, meaning “stepwell of the masons,” suggests it was crafted by skilled artisans. The cool, shaded steps and intricate stonework make it both practical and aesthetically pleasing.
