★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful not so very popular monumental sight in Mehrauli, near qutub minar. It has both a mosque (which is functional) and tomb of Jamali and Qamali. It is also one of the few haunted places in Delhi.
It is very photogenic place if you a photo/selfie buff. Close to qutub minar metro station (around 1.5 km) can walk down if weather is fine or you can take auto too.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I was drawn to this place mostly because I read various articles on the internet saying that this complex was haunted. However, the reality was completely different.
It's just a quite place away from all the hustle and bustle and attention that the monument pretty close to it- the Qutab Minar gets.
The complex has a mosque and graves of Jamali & Kamali, the entrance of which has been locked, thanks to the people scribbling their names all over the place.
If you want to have a good and peaceful time, head towards this place and don't forget to visit other monuments in the complex, namely, Metcalf's folly, Quli Khan's tomb, Adham Khan's tomb and Rajon ki Baoli.
Gandhak ki baoli has been closed now, otherwise it can also be appended to the list.
P.S.- There's no entry ticket for the place, just head to the forest and have a good time!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This mosque complex was built and named in honour of Shaikh Jamali Kamboh, a Lodi Dynasty era Sufi saint who was revered by the islamic rulers of the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire. The mosque is beautifully preserved considering it’s been around since the early 16th century. The main prayer hall is like many Lodi era mosques in Delhi, that is, narrow and looks like a colonnade. Entrance to the hall is through one of 5 archways, with the central arch decorated using common Lodi architectural flourishes such fluted columns and oriel windows.
An interesting feature of the prayer hall is the corner joints between the arches. Instead of the usual recess typical of Lodi architecture, the corners protrude outwards with what looks like cornices stacked one above another.
The Jamali Kamali Tomb and Mosque is the best thing to see in the Mehrauli Archaeological Park, and being free makes it well worth the time to visit.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb, located in the Archaeological Village complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, India, comprise two monuments adjacent to each other; one is the mosque and the other is the tomb of Jamali and Kamali. Their names are tagged together as "Jamali Kamali" for the mosque as well as the tomb since they are buried adjacent to each other. The mosque and the tomb were constructed in 1528-1529, and Jamali was buried in the tomb after his death in 1535.[1]

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Oh , this is really a fabulous place, garden to hang out. The dargah is quite small, less crowded but neat n clean. Very silent but I got good vibes, tho one can feel fear cause of being alone. It is really well maintained, umm it had been great if time had not destroyed its historical beauty. One should definitely visit this place, the garden is also very beautiful converted from a jungle. Actually it's basically a jungle. Trees look cool. Tracking is fun, presence of Gaurd's make u feel safe. For optimum peace visit with friends n time.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Jamali Kamali mosque which if one is to consider has more glory to it than Qutub Minar itself but the only attention it now gets is because of the haunting stories related to Jinns that are believed to reside there.
This mosque, built in 1528-29, is located within Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which actually shares boundary with Qutub Minar premises. Entrance to this park is however about 500 meters away from Qutub Minar’s entrance gate. Within the mosque, built in a separate area, are the tombs of Jamali and Kamali. There is no entry fee here and the park is always full with kids playing and elderly people taking a walk.
Jamali was pseudonym of Sheikh Hamid bin Fazlu’llah who was also known as Sheikh Jamal-ud-din Kamboh Dehlawi aka Jalal Khan. He was a Sufi saint known for his poetry and came to India during the reign of Sultan Sikendar Lodi. Kamali was, however, remains a complete mystery. Whether he was a disciple of Jamali, or another Sufi poet or maybe just a servant, no one knows. not go expecting anything supernatural because there isn’t. Adore the architecture, admire the beauty, pay respect at a mosque.
