Jamali Kamali tomb

Summary edit

Description
English: The tomb of Jamali-Kamali is an impressively decorated 7.6 m (25 ft) square structure with a flat roof, located adjacent to the mosque on its northern side. Inside the chamber, the flat ceiling is plastered and beautifully decorated. It is painted in red and blue with some Koranic inscriptions, and the walls are adorned with inlaid coloured tiles

Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb located in the Archeological Village complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, comprise two monuments adjacent to each other, one is the mosque and the other is the tomb of two persons with the names Jamali and Kamali. Jamali (‘Jamali’ in Urdu language orginates from 'Jamal' which means “beauty”) was the pseudo name given to Shaikh Fazlu’llah, also known as Shaikh Jamali Kamboh or Jalal Khan, a renowned Sufi Saint who lived during the pre-Mughal dynasty rule of the Lodi’s (Sikander Lodi to the Mughal Dynasty rule of Babur and Humayun), and he was greatly regarded. Kamali was an unknown person but associated with Jamali and his antecedents have not been established. Their names are tagged together as "Jamali Kamali" for the mosque as well as the tomb since they are buried adjacent to each other. The mosque and the tomb building were constructed in 1528-1529 but Jamali was buried in the tomb after his death in 1535

inscribed with Jamali’s poems. The decorations in the tomb have been described as “going inside is like stepping into a jewel box”. In the Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb the tomb chamber has two marble graves one of Jamali, the saint poet and the other of Kamali, the reason for the Kamali name could probably be that it rhymes well with Jamali.Source Wikipedia
