| Description |
Delhi, Lodi Gardens, Tomb of Muhammad Shah Sayyid This octagonal maqbara (tomb) of Muhammad Shah Sayyid is located near the south-west corner of the Lodi Gardens. The tomb was built in 1444 for the third Sayyid sultan Muhammad Shah. Due to the inheritance of greatly diminished state coffers, the Sayyid's could not commission monumental buildings. As a result, their architectural legacy manifested in small tombs and mausoleum built throughout Delhi. The tomb of Muhammad Shah IV, the third ruler of the Sayyid dynasty, is one of the larger tombs surviving from this period. It is located within the Lodi Gardens that was designed by the Sayyids and Lodis in the fifteenth and sixteenth century. It is based on a configuration used mostly for royal tombs: an octagonal chamber ringed by an outer arcade, while square tombs were for high-ranking members of society. This is arguably the best example of Sayyid monuments. The tomb is beautifully ornamented and some of the orginal coloured plaster-work is still visible. (source: archnet.org/sites/3984) |
