Bada Gumbad, Lodhi Garden, India
Bada Gumbad (literally "big dome") is in Lodhi Gardens in Delhi. The monument is situated near the tomb of Sikander Lodhi and Shish Gumbad. Although the three structures, which share a common raised platform, were all built during the Lodhi reign, they were not constructed simultaneously. The intended purpose and significance of Bada Gumbad is unknown and, to date, remains a mystery. Some historians suggest that the Bada Gumbad was built by an unidentified noble in 1490 before being appropriated by Sikander Lodhi in 1494 to provide an entryway to his mosque.
