Hauz Khas Complex

This guide to the Hauz Khas Complex in Delhi follows Sultan Firuz Shah, who in 1352 re-excavated a silted-up reservoir first dug by Alauddin Khilji, then built a great madrasa along its banks and chose the site for his own tomb decades before he needed it. You'll hear about the scholars who traveled from as far as Baghdad to study there, and the golden domes and gardens travelers once described. The guide follows the school through Firuz Shah's long reign and to the arrival of a conqueror a decade after his death.
