Firoz Shah'S Tomb

Unclaimed

It is a good place to visit. From June 2019 this place now has ticket system. It is ₹25 per person. Visiting on weekday is recommended so that you don't have to bear the crowd which comes in your photos every second ?. Overall a good place but not as awesome as others like Humayun's Tomb. If you have visited most of other monuments in Delhi then definitely visit this one also.

Don't forget to visit Feroz Shah Kotla Fort if you are coming to Delhi. Spread across such a huge area. Some places inside the arena are closed for general public due to some restoration works after the lockdown. A very beautiful place and a must visit place. Entry fee is 25-30 Rs and is worth it.

Stunning mausoleum of the Sultan Firuz Shah Tughluq, dating to the second half of the fourteenth century. The yellow sandstone is very, very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. I find the vibe of the tomb (if a tomb can be said to have one) the same as that of the Mughal general Adham Khan in Mehrauli. It is very tall and confident without being imposing. The lush greenery of the trees and lawns around it gives a very soothing vibe to the place when the weather is nice.

Firoz Shah Tughlaq was responsible for restoring the Deer Park lake or the Hauz I Alai. He built madrasa as well as living quarters for students teachers and a mosque. He even built his own tomb 25 years before he died, in the middle of the Fort. It's said that along with his grave, his own son and grandson are buried here. There are a total of 4 cenotaphs under the main tomb, with the western wall bearing simple decorative motifs.

Visited the tomb as a foreigner on a weekend. I was able to buy the ticket at the counter, there’s a QR code for payment, or you can pay with cash. It’s a historic area with a nice view of the nearby park, but you can’t walk directly to the park from Firoz Shah’s tomb. Visiting the nearby park was a nice bonus.
