A small Tughlaq era building, set within the Deer Park. There is small open air Mosque situated next to set but one can't know who is buried in there as the grave is no longer visible and there are no inscriptions. Looked very romantic to me, to be laid to rest for centuries in a park teeming with wildlife would be peaceful for sure.

A tiny, unidentified tomb near the Bagh-e-Alam ka Gumbad. This one has nothing much to recommend it, but it seems to be popular mostly because it has a small (and pretty bad) children's play area beside it, and a very rough badminton court in front of it.

Nearby to \Bagh-I-Alam Ka Gumbad\ is the Kali Gumti, a one room structure associated with Tughluq rule. This structure was recently lit up by the Archaeological Survey of India. Most of the historians call it a Tughluq monument because of its inward sloppy walls, a typical Tughluq feature. Its hut like plan gives it the name ‘gumti’, thus Kali Gumti meaning small domed building with blackened walls. The structure contains no graves and has a wall mosque on the western side.
