★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Graves graves and Graves....
Wherever you see you find only Graves.
The history behind it is:-
According to inscriptions, the structure houses the tomb of Mirza Aziz Koka (also named Kotaltash). The tomb of his father, Ataga Khan, the Prime Minister of Akbar, is also in the vicinity. In addition, there are several other unidentified tombs inside this monument. It is considered the family shrine of Atgah Khan. The structure is enclosed and has an imposing entrance gate. The Ghalib tomb is located adjoining this structure on the northern side. Comparison is drawn to a similar tomb built in marble in Sarkhej in Gujarat where Mirza Aziz Koka served several times as Jahangir’s Governor of Gujarat. He died in Sarkhej and was temporarily buried there. His remains were later shifted to Chausath Khamba.
we can enjoy this place by observing it and live that place by making connection between that place and our soul.
Taking selfies and photography should not be the main purpose to visit these type of beautiful, historical and architectural monuments. A monument is a kind of portal which brings us into the past so, we should feel the monument not just through our senses but also through our soul.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This building of 16th century was inspired by the Iranian Garden Palaces. It is made of marble with very
artistic work while the weight of every marble is more than 1000 Kilograms. Because of it's 64 Pillars it is called Chausath Khamba and has 25 domes. The entry is from a big gate and has a mosque. It is very close and infact next to the shrine of famous poet Mirza Ghalib.
This inspired Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to make his Diwan-i-khas which means court for special people in his Red Fort.
It has been restored as iron used in the structure was rusting and the monument was about to collapse.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 64 number literally translates as 64 graveyard. It has marble Graves of people associated with Mirza Ghalib. It is situated right next to the tomb of Miza Ghalib,though Mirza Ghalib is more famous still it is grander than Ghalib's Tomb.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Chausath Khamba (64 pillars) is a literal name and description of the mausoleum of Ataga Khan and his family. The structure is a beautiful white marble building with walls of latticeworks. The interior is filled with cenotaphs marking the tombs of Ataga Khan and his family. The pillars form pretty regular shapes and have niche like capitals. The pillars support inverted and self supporting domes, which again are quite pretty to look at.
The structure is free to enter and well worth a detour if in the Nizamuddin district.

A tomb built during 1623–24. It is located in Nizamuddin precincts of Sufi Muslim shrines and tombs in New Delhi, India.
The name means "64 pillars" in Hindi.
It was built by Mirza Aziz Koka

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The 64-Pillared Chausath Khamba Tomb in Old Nizamuddin Delhi is seen on way to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia Dargah. This hosts the restored 17th-century tombs of Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib & other prominent people of the medieval period. The house and museum of Mirza Ghalib are also in old Delhi in the Chandani Chowk area. The main attraction are the stone-carved nets o the peripheral walls. The stone-carved nets are closed on the side walls. There are also a few tombs outside the main structures but the main attraction here as well is the stone-carved nets that can be seen installed on the fencing wall.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Chausath Khamba, also spelled Chaunsath Khamba, is a tomb built during 1623–24. It is located in Nizamuddin precincts of Sufi Muslim shrines and tombs in New Delhi, India. The name means "64 pillars" in Urdu and Hindi. It was built by Mirza Aziz Koka, son of Ataga Khan, as a mausoleum for himself, at the time when Mughal Emperor Jahangir ruled from Delhi. Mirza Aziz Koka had served several times as Jahangir’s Governor of Gujarat before he died in Gujarat.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ 64 pillars or Chausath Khambha is graveyard of Famous Poet Mirza Ghalib and his first followers as said to me by some one there .
There are two ways to go there
1. Through Mirza Ghalib Tomb
2. Through Main gate of Urs Mahal left of tomb.
Place is not so clean.
Graveyards are mostly marbled but without maintenance looks dirty.
