Bara Khamba

Bara Khamba, literally means twelve pillars. It is a domed structure supported by 12 pillars. Although this building is a tomb, no cenotaphs remain inside it but you can still see a number of gravestones outside the Barakhamba. The building probably belongs to the Lodi period (1451–1526). There are a few other scattered structures in the compound.

Getting there: Located west of the Dadi Poti’s Tomb and on the other side of the road.

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).
