Humayun's Tomb and Lodhi Tomb - a world heritage monument
Humayun's tomb is the tomb of the Mughal Emperor Humayun in Delhi, India. The tomb was commissioned by Humayun's first wife Bega Begum (Haji Begum) in 1569-70, and designed by Mirak Mirza Ghiyas, a Persian architect chosen by Bega Begum. It was the first garden-tomb on the Indian subcontinent, and is located in Nizamuddin East, Delhi, India, close to the Dina-panah citadel also known as Purana Qila (Old Fort), that Humayun founded in 1533. It was also the first structure to use red sandstone at such a scale. The tomb was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993, and since then has undergone extensive restoration work, which is complete. Besides the main tomb enclosure of Humayun, several smaller monuments dot the pathway leading up to it, from the main entrance in the West, including one that even pre-dates the main tomb itself, by twenty years; it is the tomb complex of Isa Khan Niyazi, an Afghan noble in Sher Shah Suri's court of the Suri dynasty, who fought against the Mughals, constructed in 1547 CE.
The site was chosen on the banks of Yamuna river, due to its proximity to Nizamuddin Dargah, the mausoleum of the celebrated Sufi saint of Delhi, Nizamuddin Auliya, who was much revered by the rulers of Delhi, and whose residence, Chilla Nizamuddin Auliya lies just north-east of the tomb. In later Mughal history, the last Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar took refuge here, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, along with three princes, and was captured by Captain Hodson before being exiled to Rangoon. At the time of the Slave Dynasty this land was under the 'KiloKheri Fort' which was capital of Sultan Kequbad, son of Nasiruddin (1268--1287).
The old Lady Willington Park, now known as Lodhi Garden, is dotted with monuments of Sayyid and Lodhi Periods, which include tombs mosques, and bridges .
The tombs of Muhammad Shah and Sikandar Lodhi are the good examples of octagonal tombs. Shish and Bara Gumbad are square tombs with imposing dome, turrets on corners and facades giving false impression of being double storeyed.
The tomb of Mohammed Shah, the last of the Sayyid dynasty rulers, the earliest of the tombs in the garden, was built in 1444 by Ala-ud-din Alam Shah as a tribute to Mohammed Shah.
Another tomb within the gardens is that of Sikander Lodi, which is similar to Mohammed Shah's tomb, though without the chhatris, it was built by his son Ibrahim Lodi in 1517, the last of Sultan of Delhi from Lodi dynasty, as he was defeated by Babur, First battle of Panipat in 1526, this laying the foundation of the Mughal Empire. His tomb is often mistaken to be the Sheesh Gumbad, and is actually situated in near the tehsil office in Panipat, close to the Dargah of Sufi saint Bu Ali Shah Qalandar. It is a simple rectangular structure on a high platform approached by a flight of steps. The tomb was renovated by the British, and an inscription mentioning Ibrahim Lodi's defeat at the hands of Babur and the renovation was included in 1866.
Under the Mughals major renovations would often take place depending on what occasions they would use the gardens for, under Akbar the Great the garden was used as an observatory and to keep records in a purpose built library.
In the centuries, after the 15th century Sayyid and Lodi dynasties, two villages grew around the monuments, but the villagers were relocated in 1936 in order to create the gardens. During British Raj, it was landscaped by Lady Willingdon, wife of Governor-General of India, Marquess of Willingdon, and hence named the 'Lady Willingdon Park' upon its inauguration on April 9, 1936, and 1947, after Independence, it was given its present name, Lodi Gardens.

Shah Alam II
Ali Gauhar, historically known as Shah Alam II, was the eighteenth Mughal Emperor and the son of Alamgir II. Shah Alam II became the emperor of a crumbling Mughal empire; his power was so depleted during his reign that it led to a saying in Persian, Sultanat-e-Shah Alam, Az Dilli ta Palam, meaning, 'The kingdom of Shah Alam is from Delhi to Palam', Palam being a suburb of Delhi.
Shah Alam faced many invasions mainly by the Emir of Afghanistan, Ahmed Shah Abdali, which led to the Third Battle of Panipat between the Maratha Empire, which maintained suzerainty over Mughal affairs in Delhi and the Afghans led by Abdali. In 1760, the invading forces of Abdali were driven away by the Marathas, led by Sadashivrao Bhau, who deposed Shah Jahan III, the puppet Mughal emperor of Feroze Jung III, and installed Shah Alam II as the rightful emperor under the Maratha suzerainty.

Shah Rukan E Alam Tomb 1324AD Multan On World Heritage Tentative Site List By UNESCO 1993 Pakistan
Tombs, Baoli, & mosques in a single complex
The Wazirpur Group of Monuments is a monument complex in a very little park with a total of eight structures. There are two wall mosques, five tombs, set in a row and a baoli, or step-well. All of these structures date back to the period of the Lodi Sultans of Delhi, who ruled in the latter half of the 15th century, up to 1526, when Babur came storming into India and ousted them, setting up the Mughal dynasty. As you enter the complex one can see the bastion-like end turret of the larger wall mosque. This wall mosque is a long one, solid-looking and built of what's known as 'random rubble masonry': rubble, with large chunks of rough-cut squarish stone embedded in it. The only decorative elements here are shallow arched niches let into the wall.
At right angles to this wall mosque are the five tombs. Three of these are small and pretty nondescript. Inside these tombs one can also see the remains of what must once have been some nice ornamentation. Most of the tombs were built of random rubble masonry coated with plaster, and the decoration consisted of 'incised' plaster: a lump of wet plaster is slathered onto a prepared surface, and while it's still wet, worked into intricate patterns -- circular medallions, bands of calligraphy, and so on. Some of these, the occasional one even intact or with signs of the paint originally used to further enhance the incised plaster, can be seen in the tombs. The two larger tombs dominate the complex. These have been recently restored, with some of the incised plaster on the doorways now looking bright and new.
Facing the tombs is the baoli or step-well, a well approached by descending a flight of wide steps. On both ends of the stairs are thick walls into which cells were traditionally made. This baoli has cells too, but shallow ones: they're wide enough only for one to sit on. A ledge runs along the outside of the cells, right to the end of the baoli, into a covered chamber which overlooks a well -- long since silted up. Above ground, the baoli has an interesting feature: two domed turrets at either end of the chamber overlooking the well. From the turrets, two stone-built water channels lead out a short way. Beyond the baoli is the smaller of the wall mosques which is plastered black with age and graffiti-riddled by visitors who've scratched their names here and there, it still has a charm about it.
