About this place
History & highlights
The tomb was built in the early 16th century by Sultan Ibrahim Lodi in memory of the Muslim saint Khwaja Khizr, son of Darya Khan, and is sometimes described as the last major Lodi-period construction before the Mughals. Over 500 years old, it uses Lakhauri bricks, kankar blocks and red sandstone typical of the era. Now protected by the Archaeological Survey of India, it has gained renewed attention as a key heritage site in Sonipat and appears in state tourism lists as a “hidden treasure” of the region.
