=== Tomb of Shams al-Din Iltutmish ===
The tomb of the [[Delhi Sultanate]] ruler, [[Iltutmish]], a second [[Sultan of Delhi]] (r. 1211–1236 AD), built 1235 CE, is also part of the [[Qutb Minar]] Complex in Mehrauli, New Delhi. The central chamber is a 9 mt. sq. and has [[squinches]], suggesting the existence of a dome, which has since collapsed. The main cenotaph, in white marble, is placed on a raised platform in the centre of the chamber. The facade is known for its ornate carving, both at the entrance and the interior walls. The interior west wall has a prayer niche (''[[mihrab]]'') decorated with marble, and a rich amalgamation of Hindu motifs into Islamic architecture, such as bell-and-chain, tassel, lotus, diamond emblems.<ref name=her />

In 1914, during excavations by Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) [[Gordon Sanderson]], the grave chamber was discovered. From the north of the tomb 20 steps lead down to the actual burial vault.
