Historical Landmark
Tomb of Firoz Shah Tughlaq
The Tomb of Firoz Shah Tughlaq is located in the Hauz Khas Complex in South Delhi. Firoz Shah Tughlaq, who ruled from 1351 to 1388, was a Sultan of the Delhi-based Tughlaq dynasty and was known for his interest in architecture. His tomb is situated in the middle of a madrasa he commissioned, overlooking a tank of water known as Hauz Khas.
The tomb is a simple 15-foot square structure built of ashlar walls finished with lime plaster, featuring arched entrances and merlons along the parapet. Above the parapet rises an octagonal drum, which supports a shallow and slightly pointed dome. The tomb's plain style is faithful to the austerity of much of Tughlaq architecture.
The tomb contains four unmarked graves, with the central grave being that of Firoz Shah Tughlaq. The other two marble graves are ascribed to his son and grandson, Nasiru'd-Din Muhammad Shah and Alau'd-Din Sikandar Shah.
