Bahlol Lodi's tomb is a building situated in Delhi, India, which is allegedly the tomb of an emperor of the Delhi Sultanate and the founder of the Lodi Dynasty, Bahlul Khan Lodi (r. 1451 – 1489 A.D ). It was built by Sikandar Khan, the son and successor of Bahlul Lodi after the demise of his father in July 1489 A.D.[1]
The label of the building Chirag Delhi as Bahlul's tomb is debated by historians, some of them suggest the Sheesh Gumbad in the Lodi Gardens as the site of Bahlol Lodi's grave.[2]
Architecture
The tomb is constructed in rubble masonry.
