★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This building is the tomb of Muhammad Quli Khan, a general who served the Mughal Emperor Akbar the Great. Other than that I can find no information on his notability to warrant a tomb in such a prominent location next to the Qutub Minar.
The building is mostly ruins and only the main tomb of the complex is intact. The main tomb is an octagonal building decorated with stucco floral patterns and glazed tiles. The design of the building is similar to Lodi era Indo-Islamic style rather than the later Mughal style, especially as the structure has been built with illusion of being multi-storeyed. There’s no cenotaph to mark the location of the tomb, which was a bit odd
The tomb is one of the more interesting buildings in the free to enter Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which is itself one of the best free to do things in Delhi.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is just opp the qutub minar metro station and can be accessed on foot.
Interestingly, you can find a beautiful park over there and a lot of history.
A lot of people use this space now to play cricket and other sports yet it's a good space to explore.
Mornings in winter is a good time to go over there.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The tomb is in Mehrauli Archaeological Park. It's a good place to walk and relax and appreciate the historical monuments. The tomb, however has not undergone any recent restoration.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Muhammad Quli Khan was the elder brother of Adham Khan and both were sons of Maham Anga, the chief wet nurse for Mughal Emperor Akbar.
The interiors still show the beautiful blue glazed tiles which are organised into delightful mosaics, the exterior only has a few remnants of such mosaics.
The tomb was later given to the British resident of Delhi, Sir Thomas Metcalfe by the last Mughal Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar II, who used it as his monsoon residence as it's surrounded by artificial lakes which still can be made out.
He renamed the building "Dilkhush" and built a boathouse too.
Recommended only for persons with good physical stamina as the steps leading to & from the monument are immense and very steep.
Located with Mehrauli Archaeological Park, to enter there are no charges.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Mohd Quli Khan and his brother were nobles at Emperor Akbar's court, and were the children of the emperor's chief wet nurse.
In the latter half of the nineteenth century, the area surrounding this tomb and some other heritage structures was handed over to Sir Theophilus Metcalfe, who renamed it DILKUSHA, and used it as his private residence.
Today it is in an approximately 60 - 65 acre landscaped park, the Mehrauli Archaeological Park.
The structure is reasonably well maintained, but I didn't see many visitors. Probably because it was a weekday.
Entrance into the park is free.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ So this is yet another tomb connected , situated within the jamali kamali park. Yes, it's beautiful, there are parks within parks. A small tomb but at a little height. I have concluded that this whole mehrauli area is basically a combination of several old ruler palaces, tombs and parks including kutub minar. So do visit with Ur family friends, cool picnic area, fun for kids, nice ambeince, peaceful, well aeroplanes do disturb as t airport is near by but some may like it. Great time pass.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If one walks away from Qutub Minar searching for solace and solitude, the Mehrauli Archaeological Park is the best one to visit. In the park there lies the tomb of Mohd Quli Khan who is the believed foster brother of the Akbar. Born to Maham Anga the rear mother of the emperor Akbar, Quli Khan was a common in Akbar’s army. Except that not much is known about the person to whom the tomb is devoted. The grand Mughal architecture is the testimony of Quli Khan’s importance in Akbar’s life. The date when it is built is not known, neither the name of the King who commissioned the memorial. The tomb look like the design of Mughal architecture with an entrance on alternative asides even the calligraphy on the walls, the medallions are either carve with Quranic verses or decorated with floral calligraphy. The memorial lies on an elevated platform covered by stairs on alternative sides to reach to the tomb.
