10 Sights & Landmarks in Mehrauli/Qutub Minar That You Shouldn't Miss
New Delhi is all at once chaotic and calm, a complicated city where cows often wander the shanty-lined streets. The 17th century Red Fort is a mass of domes and turrets, while Chandni Chowk is an exercise in friendly haggling. Jantar Mantar features larger-than-life sundials and astronomical instruments that are still used to predict the weather. Travelers and locals flock to the India Gate, the national monument of India that honors the soldiers who died in World War I and the Third Afghan War.

The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is said to be the first Muslim Mosque in India after the defeat of the Hindu rulers. The architecture is very unique to this Mosque. In one of the photos attached, you can see a structure with several rows of columns - all of which have a different ornate hand carved design - nice! The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is located in an area known as the Qutub Minar Complex which consists of several interesting and important historical structures including the Qutub Minar tower, Kahalji Tomb and other structures. The whole Complex has been designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage site.

This mosque complex was built and named in honour of Shaikh Jamali Kamboh, a Lodi Dynasty era Sufi saint who was revered by the islamic rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. The mosque is beautifully preserved considering it’s been around since the early 16th century. The main prayer hall is like many Lodi era mosques in Delhi, that is, narrow and looks like a colonnade. Entrance to the hall is through one of 5 archways, with the central arch decorated using common Lodi architectural flourishes such fluted columns and oriel windows. An interesting feature of the prayer hall is the corner joints between the arches. Instead of the usual recess typical of Lodi architecture, the corners protrude outwards with what looks like cornices stacked one above another. The Jamali Kamali Tomb and Mosque is the best thing to see in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, and being free makes it well worth the time to visit.
