Jamali Kamali

ladha sarai, Jamali Kamali, Mehrauli Archeological Pk Trl, Christian Colony, Mehrauli, New Delhi, Delhi 110030

Mosque and tomb of a Mughal-era Sufi poet, with a second grave whose occupant remains unidentified.

This guide to the Jamali Kamali tomb in Delhi's Mehrauli opens with two graves under one chamber: Shaikh Fazlu'llah, the Sufi poet known as Jamali, who won praise from a Lodi sultan and went on to serve the first two Mughal emperors, Babur and Humayun. You'll hear how he built this mosque and tomb himself in 1528, years before he died on campaign in Gujarat in 1535 and was brought back to be buried as planned. Beside him lies a second grave, marked only with a pen-shaped carving, that Delhi has argued over for nearly five centuries.
