The Shish-Gumbad Tomb in Lodi Gardens, New Delhi, India.
The Shish-Gumbad Tomb in Lodi Gardens, New Delhi, India, is believed to have been built during the reign of Sikandar Lodi (1489 - 1517). Following the traditional �square plan� of the time, the tomb has a high ceiling that gives it the illusion of having two stories. Its Western Well, outfitted with a mihrab (or arch), served as a mosque. There are several graves inside, but the names of the people buried there are unknown.
