★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Place is good to visit one time. Outsides of the tomb is marvellous in architecture though inside looks not so good. There is a security entry to the tomb and the entry will be closed by 6 pm, i think.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Origin of the monument is still not sure, with historians claiming that the tomb was built during Lodi Era because of its symbolic architecture. Bijri Khan is said to a be a nobleman in Lodi court and the tomb was in remembrance of him. However, not much is known about the man himself. The monument was first noticed by Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage, who in 2004 concluded that the monument should be categorised as an A Level monument because of its archaeological significance. The biggest challenge during restoration was the illegal encroachment within the tomb premise, which had to be removed first. The restoration process, however, began after a legal settlement. Today, the monument is open to public and the tourism board is trying to promote such unknown monuments in Delhi.
The nearest metro station is AIIMS on Yellow Line of Delhi Metro. From there you can take an auto to reach R.K Puram Sector III.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Any historical place is worth visiting once as it is a window to the gone era that teaches a lot irrespective of the age group you fall into. Situated on a main road, encroached from all sides by houses, clothes hanging low.. Not a site that one expects to see while visiting the place that belongs to history. Now with increasing footfall, one can expect things to get better. It is believed to be ~600 years old. Guard has been posted at the entrance to keep unwanted people at bay from entering the promises

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This is the tomb of "Bijri khan", located at R.K.puram sec 03. Its still a mystery for everyone that who was "Bijri khan". However INTACH has graded the monument of archeological value "A", which means it has more archeological value than historical. It is to be believed that Bijri khan was in the imperial courts of Lodhi dynasty.
2. There is also an Unknown tomb in this premises which has an unusual guava shaped dome.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is wrapped in mystery. Nothing is known about Bijri Khan, yet the prominent features of Lodi Architecture has helped to determine that this tomb may have belonged to a Lodi noble. The tomb has a smaller structure attached to it. The surrounding area including the interior of the tomb was used by the locals as residential area for a very long time. The tomb is in a state of desolation. No prominent measures are being taken for its conservation. It is accessible from 9 in the morning to 6 in the evening. It's right opposite to RK Puram sector 3 bus stand.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's okay. It's open to public now after a long time. The area around the tomb was okay. But the general upkeep can be better. Nothing is really known about Bijri Khan except that he lived at the time of Ibrahim Lodi perhaps just before Babur invaded and the First Battle of Panipat was fought in 1526.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Bijri Khan Tomb is located halfway between the Hauz Khas complex and the Wazirpur Stepwell so I decided to stop over at this place on the way back last month.
I found this place to be wrapped in mystery. There is also another smaller tomb adjacent to the main structure. The tomb is in a state of desolation but very well conserved.The parapet at the entrance is decorated with Kangooras that is a typical feature of a Hindu temple but the dome is Turkic. The round objects that appear like an inverted Kalash represent a lotus bud or a banana bud, both of which are auspicious for the Hindus.
The Turks would never use such an entrance at the main doorway but instead, prefer the real arch seen on the smaller windows. So this was in all likelihood a Hindu temple that was misappropriated by a Tughlaq noble and converted to a tomb.
The nearest stations on the Delhi Metro are Bhikaji Kama Station on the Pink line or Munirka on the Magenta line.Though I took my bike and found that there was absolutely no parking. So I had to park outside the gate on the road.
