Nizamuddin
Shrine :-
The shrine of the Muslim Sufi saint, Nizamuddin Chishti, who died
in 1325 aged 92, is across the road from Humayun's tomb. With its
large tank, it is one of several interesting tombs here. Other tombs
include the later grave of Jahanara, the daughter of Shan Jahan, Amir
Khusru, a renowned Urdu poet, also has his tomb here as does Atgah
Khan, a favourite of Humayun and his son Akbar. It's worth visiting
the shrine at around sunset on Thursdays, as it is a popular time
for worship, and qawwali singers start performing after the evening
prayers. |
