Close to Qutub Minar lies the 16th-century tomb of Adham Khan, a minister of Akbar’s royal court. Adham Khan killed one of Akbar’s favourite ministers, so the emperor ordered that an octagonal tomb should be created instead of a hexagonal one, to denote that it’s a traitor’s tomb. The monument is one massive mausoleum with stunning archways, and you can even see the Qutub Minar from here. Think about all the great pictures you can take!
