Built around 1541 CE by Sher Shah Suri, it was later supposedly used by Humayun as his library. He apparently died within this building as he rushed to Friday prayers and tumbled down the stairs. I couldn't enter the building as it was closed but you can go around it and admire it's proportions. I could even see remmenants of the original Central Asian tile ornamentation on the exterior but they're very few of them left.

It is a magnificent octagonal structure believed to have been built by the King Sher Shah Suri of the Sur Dynasty. Some also believe that it was remodeled by the second Mughal Emperor Humayun, who converted it's first floor to his personal library and the roof a an astronomical observatory. It was his bad luck though that he himself had a fatal fall from the structure.

Sher Mandal (Sher Shah's Pavilion) is a 16th-century historic building within the Purana Qila fort located in Delhi, India. It was previously believed to have been constructed by Sher Shah Suri, but has since been ascribed to the Mughal emperor Humayun, who died there in 1556 after falling down a flight of stairs. Designed in a blend of Timurid and Safavid architecture, it is the only surviving palace structure within the fort and has become a tourist attraction.It is situated at the Purana Quila. Sher Mandal is east of a hamam (Turkish royal bath) towards the southeastern end of Purana Qila, in Delhi, India.The highest point of the fort is occupied by this building.

This is part of Purana Qula - a beautiful old fort with ancient history, which ended up as the centre of the sixth city of Delhi. Sher Mandal used to be the library, on whose steps Shahjahan (one of the Mughals) slipped and broke his back.. and later died. Purana Qula is a beautiful space for picnicking, hanging out, or just escaping the noise and hustle and bustle of Delhi. There is a small lake just outside the fort where one can get paddle boats. This is a great place to come with family and / or chill. It can get quite busy on the weekend. Definitely one of the destinations to visit if you are in Delhi.
