Isa Khan Niazi

Isa Khan Niazi (Pashto: عیسی خان نيازي) was an Afghan[1] noble from the courts of Sher Shah Suri and his son Islam Shah Suri, of the Sur Empire, who fought the Mughal Empire.

It is situated near the site of the Mughal Emperor Humayun's Tomb complex in Delhi which was built later (between 1562 and 1571 AD).

This octagonal tomb has distinct ornamentation in the form of canopies, glazed tiles and lattice screens, and a deep veranda surrounding it, which is supported by pillars.

An inscription on a red sandstone slab indicates that the tomb is that of Masnad Ali Isa Khan, son of Umar Khan, the Chief chamberlain, and was built during the reign of Islam Shah Suri, son of Sher Shah, in 1547-48 A.D.[2] On 5 August 2011, restoration work on this tomb led to the discovery of India's oldest sunken garden.
