“Diwan-i-Am or the 'Hall of public audience', was the place where Shah Jahan (A.D.1628-58) received the general public and heard their grievances. With a courtyard in the front, it was originally surrounded by arcaded apartments used by chiefs (Umaras) on duty. With an impressive façade of nine engrailed arch openings, the hall was ornamented with gilded stucco work. In the centre of the eastern wall, stands a marble canopy covered by a Bengal roof, under which was placed the Emperor's throne. A marble dais below the throne, inlaid withsemi precious stones, was used by the Wazir (Prime Minister) for receiving petitions. Behind the canopy, the wall is decorated with beautiful panels inlaid with multi-colored stones (pietra dura work), representing flowers and birds, said to have been executed by Austin de Bordeaux, a Florentine jeweller.”

“Reaching Razia Sultan's tomb can be a treasure hunt, especially for first-timers. Google Maps might not be your best guide, but don't hesitate to ask friendly locals for directions. They'll be happy to point you towards this hidden gem. Seeing the condition of the tomb can be bittersweet. While its architecture whispers of a glorious past, the present state reveals the need for restoration. Razia's tomb doubles as a masjid, adding to its unique atmosphere. However, one can't help but feel a pang of sadness for the condition of the resting place of Delhi's only female sovereign. Despite the challenges, visiting Razia Sultan's tomb is a powerful experience. Paying respects to this remarkable woman, who defied gender norms and carved her own path in history, is truly inspirational. May she find eternal peace in the highest gardens of Paradise. Remember, the caretaker might close the gate at any time, so plan your visit accordingly. It's best to call ahead or arrive early to ensure you don't miss out on this piece of Delhi's rich heritage.”

“The Sultan Alauddin Khilji Tomb and Madrasa is located in the Qutub Complex in Mehrauli, New Delhi, India. It was commissioned by Alauddin Khilji, one of the most powerful rulers of the Delhi Sultanate, in the early 14th century as a tomb for himself and a madrasa (Islamic school) for the local community. Alauddin Khilji was a patron of the arts and architecture, and he commissioned several impressive buildings during his reign, including the Alai Darwaza and the Alai Minar. The Sultan Alauddin Khilji Tomb and Madrasa was built in a similar architectural style as the Qutub Minar complex, with a mix of Hindu and Islamic elements. The complex consists of a tomb, a mosque, and a madrasa. The tomb is a large structure with a central dome and four smaller domes, surrounded by a courtyard. The walls of the tomb are adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions in Arabic and Persian. The madrasa is an Islamic school with a central courtyard, surrounded by rooms for students and teachers. The mosque in the complex is a large prayer hall with an arched entrance, surrounded by a colonnade of pillars. The walls of the mosque are decorated with intricate calligraphy and carvings. The Sultan Alauddin Khilji Tomb and Madrasa is an impressive example of the architectural and artistic achievements of the Delhi Sultanate. It is considered to be one of the finest examples of Islamic architecture in India, and it serves as a reminder of the region's rich cultural heritage. The complex is still used as a place of worship and study today, and it is open to visitors who wish to explore the history and beauty of this important cultural site.”
