![different places to visit in delhi Jamali Kamli Mosque and Tomb](https://media2.thrillophilia.com/images/photos/000/044/621/original/3700939633_32bd12b98d_o.jpg?gravity=center&width=752&height=450&crop=fill&quality=auto&fetch_format=auto&flags=strip_profile&format=jpg&sign_url=true)
A famous mosque which is archaeologically significant for India is Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb related to it. It is located in the archaeological village complex in Mehrauli in Delhi. The two monuments situated in contact with each other are the mosque and the tomb of two persons, Jamali and Kamali. The Urdu name Jamali originated from Jamal which means beauty. The name was an alias given to Shaikh Fazlullah and he was also known as Shaikh Jamali Kamboh or Jalal Khan. He was a great Sufi saint lived during the pre-Mughal period ruled by Lodi. While on the other side, Kamali was not famous as Jamali but he associated with Jamali.
Nonetheless, his antecedents have not been established. Perhaps, both their names were tagged as Jamali Kamali for the mosque and the tomb since they were buried close to each other. Both the mosque and the tomb were constructed during 1528 to 1529 but Jamali was buried in the tomb after his death in 1535. The mosque as well as the tomb are located in an enclosed garden which has a southern entry. The structure is appealing with the properly arranged red sand stone along with marble embellishments by which it looks extra ordinary.
It was believed to be a forerunner in the design of Mughal mosque architecture. It is comprised of a large prayer hall, a courtyard at the front, five arches in which the central arch only possesses a dome and much more. The arches have spandrels which are decorated with medallions and ornamentation. The central arch is astonishingly magnified by the presence of fluted pilasters. The rear end of the mosque is beautified with oriel windows. In the tomb chamber, there are two marble graves, one of Jamali and the other one is of Kamali.
There are a lot of easy modes to reach the mosque though Qutub Minar metro station is the nearest metro station to the tomb.

- Stunning architectural gem
- UNESCO World Heritage Site
- Home to several interesting museums
- Long history and a former imperial home
Why it’s awesome: Delhi’s Red Fort is one of the city’s most-visited attractions and an essential stop on any Delhi itinerary . Home to Mughal emperors for 200 years, the magnificent red-sandstone fortress was built in the late 1630s by the same emperor who built the Taj Mahal. Built according to Islamic principles, the fortress also has evidence of Hindu, Persian, and Timurid styles. The Mughal dynasty ended here. The mighty complex features in some Indian banknotes. Today a UNESCO-listed site, the large octagonal fort covers more than 250 acres and has many interesting things to see and do inside.
What to do there: Marvel at the high and imposing outer walls before passing through either the grand Delhi Gate or Lahori Gate to enter the stunning complex. Admire architectural gems such as the Diwan-i-Aam and Diwan-i-Khas audience halls, the imperial apartments and baths, the Pearl Mosque, and the stepwell, which was once used as a prison. There are stunning carvings and artistic expressions throughout the complex, and art lovers can enjoy a large collection of rare pieces in Drishyakala Museum. Step back in time at the interesting museums of Kranti Mandir and stroll through pretty gardens.
#2 – Qutub Complex – A great place to see in Delhi if you love architecture
![different places to visit in delhi Qutub Complex](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Qutub-Complex.jpg)
- Evening sound and light shows
- Home to the first mosque in Delhi
- Beautiful gardens
Why it’s awesome: The striking Qutub Complex has a number of glorious historic buildings, the most famous of which is the soaring and intricately carved Qutub Minaret. When built (from the late 1100s), the minaret was the world’s tallest “skyscraper”! Although in ruins today, Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque was Delhi’s first mosque. Other interesting architectural features include the octagonal and ornate Tomb of Imam Zamin, the elaborately carved Tomb of Iltutmish, the tower of Ala-i-Minar, and the Iron Pillar. The pleasant gardens are great for some relaxation and time out from the busy city streets.
What to do there: Admire the fine structures within the complex and gaze up at the looming Qutub Minaret. While visitors can no longer go to the top of the tower you can still enjoy the views from up high via a lofty webcam. The various structures are photogenic and it’s a great place to snap many awesome pictures. Pack a picnic to enjoy in the peaceful gardens or simply stroll through the nicely landscaped grounds enjoying a rare moment of tranquillity. Return in the evening to watch the impressive light and sound show and see the marvellous structures gloriously illuminated. You can also join a night walking tour around the complex with a local guide who will give you more insights into the history of this amazing place.
#3 – Humayun’s Tomb – One of Delhi’s coolest historical sites!
![different places to visit in delhi Humayun's Tomb](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Humayun-s-Tomb.jpg)
- Beautiful well-kept gardens
- Striking architecture
- First prominent Mughal building in Delhi
Why it’s awesome: The final resting place of the second Mughal emperor, the UNESCO-listed Humayun’s Tomb dates back to the 1500s and it was the first major Mughal monument in Delhi. It is often said to have been the inspiration for the lavish Taj Mahal in Agra. Constructed from sandstone, it was commissioned by the emperor’s grieving wife to honour her deceased love. The site also has a number of other tombs, including the older Tomb of Iza Khan and the mysterious Barber’s Tomb—nobody knows who lies within this attractive tomb. The beautiful gardens are some of the finest in the Indian capital.
What to do there: Learn more about the people honoured in the tombs and admire the intricate and fine details, high standards of workmanship, incredible domes, and exquisite designs. You’re sure to take plenty of photographs of the tombs and close-up shots of the eye-catching details. Climb the steep steps up to the second level of Humayun’s Tomb for pleasant views over the complex and walk around to the southern side to see the crypt. The South Gate is often quieter than the main gate and you can get some great photos from here away from the crowds. Allow time to wander through the Persian-style gardens and perhaps sit for a while enjoying the peaceful air.
#4 – Lotus Temple – One of the most incredible free places to go to in Delhi
![different places to visit in delhi Lotus Temple](https://www.thebrokebackpacker.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Lotus-Temple.jpg)

Why it’s awesome: The Lotus Temple in Delhi is dedicated to the Baha’i faith. One of Delhi’s most unusual and eye-catching buildings, the pale temple is designed to look like a lotus flower. Open to people of all beliefs, it’s one of the most-visited buildings on the planet. Open since 1986, the award-winning building is surrounded by nine beautiful reflecting ponds. The temple does its bit for the planet too—it was the first temple in Delhi to use solar power. It’s free to enter, both for worship and to simply marvel at the splendour and soak up the spiritual air. We wish there was an Airbnb replica of this temple, but there isn’t so you’ll have to settle for one of Delhi’s great Airbnbs nearby.
What to do there: Gaze upon the unique temple from the outside, taking time to walk around the perimeter and admire the ponds and gardens. There are plenty of peaceful spots where you can meditate, reflect, and enjoy the serene experience. When you go inside, look up to see the symbol of the Greatest Name, surrounded by small skylight windows. The interiors are elegantly simple, with no statues, paintings, or other religious icons in keeping with the Baha’i beliefs.

Known as Little Tibet, the area sits on the banks of the Yamuna River and has an assortment of authentic Tibetan restaurants, cafes, and shops.

Why it’s awesome: Built in the mid-1600s, Jama Mosque was commissioned by Emperor Shah Jahan, the same emperor responsible for the Taj Mahal in Agra and the Red Fort in Delhi. Among the biggest mosques in India, gorgeous red-brick and marble buildings surround a huge central courtyard with a pool where people wash before prayers. The mosque can hold up to 25,000 worshippers at any one time. It was once used to house British soldiers after they captured the city. Intricate carvings cover the walls, with text from the Quran written in elegant calligraphy and lots of geometric designs. The muezzin issues the hypnotic call to prayer five times each day from one of the two soaring minarets.

![different places to visit in delhi India Gate Delhi](https://delhitourism.travel/images/places-to-visit/headers/india-gate-delhi-entry-fee-timings-holidays-reviews-header.jpg)
This 42 meter high "Arc-de-Triomphe" like archway situated in the heart of Delhi city is much taller in the hearts of India. Formerly known as All India War Memorial, India Gate was built to commemorate the death of 70,000 British Indian soldiers who died during First World War between 1914-21.
Even though the India Gate was constructed as a war memorial, the architectural style of the monument makes it appear like an epitome of triumph. Much similar to Arch of Constantine, outside the Colosseum in Rome, India gate was designed by Sir Edward Lutyens.
India Gate got an additional structure in the form of a black marble plinth, with a reversed rifle capped by a soldier’s helmet after the Bangladesh Liberation War in 1971. This structure is situated beneath the memorial archway and is bounded by flames on four eternal sides. This is called Amar Jawan Jyoti. India Gate is counted amongst the most significant war memorials in the country.
What we all know is that India Gate has an essential place in the Indian history, but what many of us may not know is that the memorial has an important spot in the heart of Delhiites. Whenever there is a moment of distress or an occasion to celebrate, India Gate is the perfect spot for that.
People visit the place with families to spend some quality time with each other. Food vendors around the area add to the pleasure of hanging out with family and friends.

![different places to visit in delhi Red Fort Delhi](https://delhitourism.travel/images/places-to-visit/headers/red-fort-lal-kila-delhi-entry-fee-timings-holidays-reviews-header.jpg)
Red Fort, popularly known as Lal Quila, is the pride of the nation. It is a historic fort, situated in the older part of the city. Lal Quila served as the primary residence for Mughal Emperors who ruled the city, for about 200 years. It was until 1856 that the Mughals had resided in Lal Quila. Besides, the historical monument also served as the political center of the Mughals.
Red Fort was built under the reign of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in the year 1639. It was made on the lines of Shah Jahan's palace in his fortified capital Shahanabad. It was called Red Fort because of its massive closed walls built in red stone. The palace not only showcases the architectural brilliance of Shah Jahan but also gives a reasonably good picture of Islamic architecture of those times.
Located at the center of Delhi, Lal Quila houses many museums and pavilions. Each pavilion of Lal Quila speaks volumes about the valor and pomp of Mughal empire.
The architectural elements of Lal Quila reflect a typical Mughal building and showcase a fusion of Timurid and Persian traditions. However, the fort saw enough destruction during the invasion of Mughal Emperor Nadir Shah in 1747, followed by the intrusion of British in the Revolt of 1857.
However, the Red Fort has not lost its sheen. It still stands magnanimous in the cultural and political scene of the country. Each year, on the Independence Day (15th August), India’s Prime Minister hoists the Indian Flag and delivers his speech to the nation. The Red Fort was honored to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007.
Red Fort is a major attraction for tourists visiting the city all around the year. Chatta Chowk, its vaulted arcade is a local market that sells tourists trinkets. One can reach the main compound of Lal Quila after passing through the Chatta Chowk.

![different places to visit in delhi Connaught Place Delhi](https://delhitourism.travel/images/places-to-visit/headers/connaught-place-delhi-tourism-entry-fee-timings-holidays-reviews-header.jpg)
Connaught Place is one of the largest commercial and financial centers of the country and the world. Popularly known as CP, the place houses the headquarters of some of the biggest Corporates. Besides, it is a fashion destination too. Some of the biggest brands in the world have their showrooms in Connaught Place.
It is worth mentioning here that Connaught Place is one of the most expensive real estate in the world. CP was termed as the showpiece of Lutyens’ Delhi. Courtesy its fantastic structure and architecture, Connaught Place is considered to be one of the top heritage sites of the city and pride of the country. The place is named after Prince Arthur, 1st Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. The marketplace was built between 1929 - 1933 and is still a masterpiece in its own right.
The Georgian architecture of Connaught Place is borrowed from Royal Crescent in Bath. Connaught Place is built in a circle and has two floors. The idea was to provide commercial space on the ground floor and residential area on the top level.
CP is divided into two concentric circles, bifurcating the place into the inner circle, middle circle, and outer circle. The three circles are joined by the seven roads emerging from the inner central park.
The government wanted to build New Delhi Railway Station in CP, but the plan couldn’t materialize due to the scarcity of space. Hence, the station was built in Paharganj area, next to Connaught Place. Connaught Place is famous not just for its architecture and heritage, but also for its cinemas and eateries.
Earlier, traders from Kashmere gate area used to travel to this marketplace. But later, it became the entertainment hub of the elite. Regal Cinema, the first cinema of Connaught Place used to host favorite concerts, ballet performances, and theatre groups. Odean and Rivoli cinemas came up later.
Connaught Place is also known for Wenger’s, the first pastry shop in the city, set up by a Swiss Couple. The pastry shop exists to date.
Post independence, Connaught Place got its first underground market, called Palika Bazaar. It was set up in the empty block under the inner circle. The Bazaar has expanded its wings towards the outer circle now.
6. Qutub Minar
![different places to visit in delhi Qutub Minar Delhi](https://delhitourism.travel/images/sightseeing-places-to-visit/qutub-minar-delhi-timings-entry-fee-history-built-by-height-information-delhi-tourism.jpg)
Qutab Minar, Qutb Minar or Qutub Mina spell it as it suits you. Spelling could defer from historian to historian, but the charm of the building remained the same throughout the history. This 73-meter tall minaret has five stories. Interestingly, the base diameter of the structure is 14.3 meters, while it slims down to 2.7 meters as it approaches the top.
Qutub Minar draws inspiration from Minaret of jam, built in Afghanistan. It is believed that Qutab Ud-din Aibak, the founder of Delhi Sultanate, started building the minaret around 1192. He is credited to have built the first floor of the five-storeyed minaret. However, the task was taken up by Aibak’s son-in-law and successor, Iltutmish, who has added three more stories to the minaret in the year 1220.
The Qutab Minar that you see today was, however, completed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq. There was a lightning strike in 1369 that had destroyed the top floor built by Iltutmish. Tughlaq not just repaired the damaged floor, but also constructed another deck on top of the building to complete it. Sher Shah Suri made another addition to the building while Humayun was in exile. He created an entrance to the minaret as well.
Qutub Minar is not the only place to visit in the minar complex. It is surrounded by a lot of places with historical significance. The Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque is in the same premises and is as old as the minaret itself. There is an iron pillar, which is very old and popular.
Let’s talk about the architecture of the minaret. As mentioned earlier, the makers have drawn inspiration from Afghanistan Minaret of Jam. The incorporation of looped bells, lotus borders, and garlands in its carving give it the local effect. Qutub Minar has stood the tests of time and rulers. The place is definitely worth a visit.
7. Lajpat Nagar Market
