Constructed in 1528, Jamali Kamali in Mehrauli is both a mosque and a tomb of two individuals – Jamali and Kamali. Shaikh Jamali Kamboh alias Jamali was a Sufi saint known for his poetry and Kamali, it is believed was the poet’s male lover. The Jamali Kamali Mosque is made out of red sandstone with white marble embellishments. All the five arches of the mosque have been beautifully ornamented and the two-stories structure is enhanced by octagonal towers in all the four corners.
While the mosque and the tomb look every bit like a stunning work of architecture, people are often too scared to drop by due to the stories that Jinns reside here. Fascinated by architecture and intrigued by ghost stories? You know where to head now.
