Imam Zamin's Tomb - New Delhi

One of several interesting attractions at the Qutab Complex is the Tomb of Imam Zamin, which is located just next to the equally impressive Alai Darwaza Gateway building. Tomb of Imam Zamin was built in 1500 by the Turkestan saint - Imam Zamin. He was buried there in 1538. The structure is made of sandstone, like the Alai Darwaza building and other structures in the area. There is a quaint dome atop the tomb and lovely perforated screens to be seen from the inside and outside of the tomb. Overall, the Tomb of Imam Zamin is a nice historic structure that is in rather good condition and well worth spending a few minutes to look over when you are visiting the Qutab Complex attractions.

This tomb is the mausoleum of Imam Zamin, an Imam of the Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque inside the Qutub Minar complex and said to be a direct decendent of Muhammed. The mausoleum looks deceptively like multi-storeyed building, a common feature of the Lodhi Dynasty. The sides of the building are latticeworks and it’s possible to peer inside to see the marble cenotaph. It’s a cute little building and looks interesting as it’s right in the line of sight of the more famous tower in the background. One of the more interesting structures to see inside the complex.

Beautiful place. This is actually part of qutub minar. ? Please don’t feel discouraged just because you are slightly behind. Life isn’t a hundred-meter race against your friends, but a lifelong marathon against yourself. Rather than focusing on getting ahead of your friends, first try to discover your unique color. Visit places, make good memories, save money and enjoy life ?. Life should not be that expensive but the most important aspect is that you are Happy. You can see my face in some part of my pictures my mood if off ??. Bcoz my husband is tactles. Is that kind of an Indian thing or part of culture? Or just how he was raised up as part of culture? ?‍♀️ Also advice for Men, if you have nothing good to say to ur wife --- Close you Mouth!!!
