The Wazirpur Tomb, located in R.K. Puram, New Delhi, is a notable heritage structure from the Lodi Dynasty, dating back to the 15th-16th centuries. This tomb is part of a group of three structures, with the main one being the most prominent. The tomb is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture, featuring characteristic elements such as domes, arches, and intricate stone carvings. Built with sandstone and rubble masonry, it reflects the architectural style prevalent during the late Lodi period. The tomb is significant not only for its historical and architectural value but also because it contributes to understanding the Mughal and pre-Mughal era's local craftsmanship and artistry. The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) manages the site, aiming to preserve its structure despite environmental and urban challenges.
