Underground thirteenth-century crypt within a walled fortress compound, India's oldest surviving Islamic mausoleum.
This guide to Sultan Ghari in Delhi descends into a thirteenth-century crypt built by Sultan Iltutmish for his son Nasiruddin Mahmud, the heir who died governing Bengal before he could take the throne. It traces Nasiruddin's life as Razia Sultan's elder brother, the fortress-like mausoleum his father raised around him in twelve thirty-one, and the columns pulled from an older Hindu shrine that still mark the stonework of the platform above.
