Hauz Khas Complex
The Hauz Khas Complex, located in South Delhi, is a fascinating blend of history and modernity. This site dates back to the 13th century during the reign of the Delhi Sultanate and was originally part of the city of Siri, established by Alauddin Khilji.
The name "Hauz Khas" translates to "Royal Tank" in Persian, referring to the large water reservoir built by Khilji to supply water to the inhabitants of Siri. The tank was later restored by Firuz Shah Tughlaq, who also added several structures around it.
The complex features a mosque, a madrasa (Islamic seminary), and the tomb of Firuz Shah Tughlaq, all overlooking the serene Hauz Khas Lake. The architecture showcases the grandeur of the Delhi Sultanate era, with intricate carvings and a harmonious blend of functionality and aesthetics.
