Shah Alam's Tomb Wazirabad - Historical landmark in New Delhi, Delhi - Central, India

One can see two things of historic importance at this one spot both built by Feroze Shah Tughlaq in the fourteenth century. Firstly, there is the tomb of saint Shah Alam, there's no ticket required and the place is well maintained considering almost no one ever comes here. I was the only here and the place is more than six hundred years old made me happy. The place is a bit seedy with some boys hanging around smoking and gawking, do try to come during the day time only and no unaccompanied women certainly. Secondly, is the Wazirabad Bridge, Delhi's oldest bridge also from the same period and still carrying traffic. I even drove over it and was faced with an assortment of traffic including a bullock cart.

It is the monument of national importance. Built by the Firuz Shah Tughlaq (1351-88) for Shah Alam Tomb is located on the Wazirabad Pul. Good architecture but not famous due to very less space. The principal monument is a mosque, planned in a rectangular form and has two bay deep prayer chambers with five pointed arch openings. The rear bay is surrmounted with three domes. A small chamber screened with stone jalis and supported with pillars is placed for the use of women devotees. The Shah Alam tomb is located in centre of enclosed courtyard of the mosque. The tomb is planned in square form and the grave is placed over a raised plinth. Twelve pillars are located along side of the tomb which support the domical roof at top. Sides of the tomb were originally screened with preforated jalis some of them are surving. To reach here, the nearest bus stand is Wazirabad pul. It is just back of the Wazirabad pul bus stand. Buses coming from Mukarba chowk and going towards Anand Vihar, Chauhan Patti or harsh vihar stop here. It is about 5 kilometres from kashmeeri gate and 8 kilometres from Mukarba chowk. Within 2 kilometres Yamuna river blow here.

Palace of the Sufi saint Shah Alam It was built by Firoz Shah Tughlaq in the 14th century. Till 2006, this place was nothing but ruins, the people of the area had encroached many places.

Tomb of Shah Alam,not proper maintained at night becoz after the main door closed, some gambler are present here when i visited last week.

The monument has just been restoted by ASI however it's already wearing down. It's open for all from sunrise to sunset and that appears to be it's undoing. You will fine all sort of people including drug aditcs, gamblers and teen agers doing the usual stuff they do. Grass is neatly cut and maintined, however in the absence of security guard, it's being piled up with Gutka Punches, The empty box of playing cards and condom wrapper.
