The tomb of sultan of Delhi, " Iltutmish " who completed the construction of qutub minar which was started by his father in law Qutub-ud-din Aibak . Shams ud-Din Iltutmish (Persian: شمس الدین ایلتتمش), (died 30 April 1236, reign 1211–1236) was the third of the Mamluk kings who ruled the former Ghurid territories in northern India. He was the first Muslim sovereign to rule from Delhi, and is thus considered the effective founder of the Delhi Sultanate. After his death his daughter Razia Sultan ruled the sultanate for around 4 years.

The historical place/ tomb located inside the "Qutub Minar" complex. If you want to see the place/ tomb you have to come inside the "Qutub Minar" complex. This is incomplete/ unfinished tower and around 27 meters high but now days this red rubble structure stands at a hight of 2.5 meters . The tomb has had very interesting history and this was built by Alauddin Khilji ( famous for the hindi movie Padmavat). Photographer like the tower for the photographic reason. During our visit, we took a help of local guide to know the history of the place.

This is the mausoleum of Shams ud-Din Iltutmish, the second Sultan of the Mamluk Dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate. From the exterior, the tomb looks like a simple square shaped structure, but the inside is far more ornate with the usual precisely chiseled relief of geometric patterns. Like a precursor of Islamic monarchs of the subcontinent, a marble cenotaph stands over the grave of the sultan. One of the more interesting structures inside Qutub Minar archaeological site,

Well preserved tomb, good architecture. The whole structure is in red stone except for ? grave stone and inscription engraving wall, which are in white marble stone. Don't know what was written on walls of the tomb (must be something from Quran).
