"It's no accident that the church and the graveyard stand side by side. The city of the dead sleeps encircled by the city of the living"- Diane Froloy and Andrew Schneider
Those who have passed away lie in peace within the grave. The Sayyids and the Lodis have managed to construct a peaceful resting ground for themselves. Architectural grandeur is exhibited to the full extent in these graves and the tombs. It also indicates the concept of the Lodi and Sayyid Muslims about the Italian and Indian Architectural amalgamation that had been done in perfect unity.
The main places of attraction over here are:
Rashtrapati Bhavan: This is a huge manor that has been constructed while the British were still in India and the architect of this place was Edwin Landseer Lutyens. While the capital was shifted from Kolkata to Delhi, this place had been constructed for the Viceroy of India.
India Gate: It is a marvelous structure that has been erected in commemoration of the dead soldiers of the 1st World War.
Lotus Temple: It is one of the most prestigious specimen of Indian secularity as is well implied in Indian Constitution. All castes and creed are welcome to spell their desire for Amen in hope that their gods may hear it. There is no class and caste distinction here and the temple is like a lotus flower with petals hovering beside it.
Moth-ki-Masjid: Miyan Bhuwa was once on a stroll with his emperor Sikander Lodi who gave him a grain. He did not know what to do with this small gift, and decided to plant it in his garden, wherefrom a huge crop was created within few years and from the income he erected a Mosque and named it Moth-ki-Masjid.
Nizammuddin's Shrine: This is the shrine of Sufi saint named Nizamuddin Christi and there are numerous other tombs at this place. Amir Khusru's tomb happens to be located here too.
