Dadi Poti ka Gumbad

Tomb of grandmother and granddaughter

The complex houses two tombs of different sizes. The larger one is known as the tomb of dadi (grandmother) and the smaller one is the tomb of poti (granddaughter). Sadly nothing is known about the famous grandmother and granddaughter duo. The bigger tomb, which seems three storied from the outside, is actually a single-story tomb housing several graves. According to architectural evidence, it belongs to the Tughlaq period (1321–1414). The smaller tombs have sloping walls and the dome is crowned with a lantern. Architectural evidence shows it to be of the Lodi period (1451–1526).
