Ruins of Ala-ud-din Khilji

 


The ruins of a tomb and a Madrasa can be seen in a very dilapidated condition in front of Quwwat-ul-Islam, next to a madrasa adjourned with the tomb in the Qutub Minar Complex, Delhi.


It is sad that after the death of Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji in 1316, his body was brought here from Siri. It is believed that it was built by Alauddin Khalji himself in 1315. 


The roof of the tomb have been fallen over time and has no dome. It is a simple stone masonry structure without any carvings or calligraphy. There are two small chambers connected to the tomb by passages on either side.
