  1. The Legend of JamaliKamali

  2. The Legend of JamaliKamali • There are places that enthral your conscience with their sheer buzz and electrifying atmosphere. And then, there are those that evoke your thought process just by the virtue of their mysterious silence. • It was in the search of the latter that I started on my quest to unravel the puzzle surrounding ‘JamaliKamali’. The name would seem funny to many. But, if you ask me, for a person who’s out there to explore the rich heritage of Delhi, this is one of the factors that sets the monument apart from the others. • So who really were Jamali and Kamali?? Were they two different persons or the same?? What was their relationship?? With an extremely inquisitive state of mind, I entered into the compound, located in Mehrauli Archaeological Park, Delhi. • Inside the premise, you’ll come across two monuments adjacent to each other; a mosque and a tomb. The mosque, built during 1528-29, is one of the earliest specimens of the Mughal mosque architecture in India. Built in red sandstone, there has been a use of marble to make it look more attractive. There are five arches, the central one being the grandest and the most decorated.
