Isa Khans Tomb, Humayun's Tomb Complex, New Delhi

Isa khan Niazi was born in 1453 and died in Delhi in 1548 at the age of 95. 

1451–1525 was the golden Era of the khans family. It was the time when Lodhi completely dominated the subcontinent Hindustan. 

Isa Khan Niazi was a prominent member among the ruling family of the Lodhi Moguals.

Isa Khan's tomb was built 1547-48 whilst he was still living I guess he wanted to ensure his place in history. It is in the complex of the world Heritage listed Humayun's Tomb built for the Emperior Humayun from 1562-1571 

Isa Khans Tomb is built 

Psa Khans Tomb

in an octagonal garden with wall enclosing it, It is bigger than most cemeteries in my homeland Australia that can house several hundred Graves. It is similar to many other tombs from the same period but being apart of a world heritage site it is very well maintained and on my first visit to Humayuns tomb it was actually closed for renovations. 

The windows of the tomb are cover in ornate latices allowing air to circulate but the tomb inside to remain Dark and Cool even on the hottest Delhi summer day.

The Tomb was Beautiful Verandas and columns around it exterior
