Located in the Malakapur village near Vasant Kunj in
Delhi, Sultan Ghari tomb is the first Turkish tomb in India. It was built by Slave
Sultan Iltutumish on the grave of his eldest son Nasir-ud-din Mahmud, who died in April, A.D. 1229, while looking
after the state of affairs in Bengal as the governor of that province.
Nasir-ud-din
Mahmud
is not to be confused with his namesake who later became a ruler of the Slave
dynasty.
Architecturally, the Sultan Ghari tomb is more Hindu than
any other tomb in India.
