Tomb of Imam Zamin

[1] It is believed that he migrated from Turkestan to Delhi during the reign of Sultan Sikandar Khan Lodi, and subsequently became the imam (chief priest) of the Quwwat-ul-Islam mosque, at the Qutb Minar complex.

[1] Located east of the Alai Darwaza, the tomb was constructed long after the original group of monuments and was the last addition to the Qutb Minar complex.

[2] The roof is supported by twelve pillars and is surmounted by a sandstone dome with jalis on all the sides, except the west and south.

[2] The dome rises from an octagonal drum and is decorated with a marble panel above the chhajja (overhanging eaves or cover of a roof) along with a double row of crenelles.

[3] The western side of the mausoleum contains a marble-wrought mihrab (niche in the wall of a mosque that indicates the direction towards which the Muslims pray).
