Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan, better known (as far as Hindi literature goes) as the much-loved poet of dohas, ‘Rahim’, was a prominent statesman and courtier of Akbar (he was one of Akbar’s ‘nine gems’); and a great general. His tomb in Nizamuddin is one of Delhi’s lesser known but still immensely important Mughal monuments.
Built in 1598 CE as a mausoleum for Abdur Rahim’s wife Mah Banu, the tomb is a typical ‘garden tomb’ whose grounds once stretched up to those of Humayun’s Tomb. Like Humayun’s Tomb, this too was inspiration for the Taj Mahal. While Rahim’s Tomb looks a little odd on the outside, what with most of the white marble cladding stripped off from the dome, there’s an interesting bit of history at work here: when the Mughal Prime Minister Safdarjung died in the mid-1700s, the Mughal empire, and its servitors, were so poor that there were not sufficient funds for all the trappings of a grand tomb. Safdarjung’s Tomb had to be embellished with stolen white marble—it was taken by vandalizing Rahim’s Tomb.
The Aga Khan Foundation has completed restoration work on Rahim’s Tomb in about 2019, as a result of which the tomb has regained much of its past glory. It may not look very attractive from the outside, but you must go in to see the full beauty of it. As you go in at the main gate, you can first turn to the left , where a series of panels with photographs and illustrations give interesting details about Rahim, the tomb, and the restoration project. From the main gate, if you turn right and approach the tomb platform from that side, you’ll find the staircases that lead up to the platform. But do wander around the cells lining the platform, too: they have some exquisite incised plaster and paint work decorating them. This incised plaster and paint also profusely decorates the main tomb chamber, which is truly lovely.
The trees (lots of limes, some mango, peepal, and a grand old maulsari among them) are one of the other attractive features of this tomb enclosure.
Entrance to Rahim’s Tomb is from Mathura Road, just a little before the Sab Burj roundabout. There is an enclosed parking space between the tomb garden and the service lane outside. Ticket costs are Rs 20 per adult. The inconvenient thing here is that you pay by scanning a QR code on your phone; there is no cashier, only a guard, so you cannot pay cash. If you’re not very tech-savvy, this can be really an irritant.

This one you can see from Barapulla bridge. every time i cross it I marvel at the beauty of the monument. in the concrete structures of the city, it stands out as a mark of beauty of the past. no matter how much we may go ahead in time these things always stand out erminding us of the past.
I like how the mughals ruled over india, they made so many monuments and did good to the people, unlike the british who took things away, the mughals have left their mark for generation to see. this is one of them

It’s somewhat off the beaten track. It’s undergoing restorations to there’s never much of a crowd here which makes the visit truly enjoyable. The architecture is fascinating.

Abdul Rahim, also known as Khan-i-Khana was a poet and a General and one of the "Nav-Ratna", nine Gems in the court of Akbar. This is a monument which he himself built, first for his wife and later on he was buried at this place itself. The monument is beautiful. It is sad that its material was taken away and used to build another tomb later on.

外面看了下，伊斯兰风格的古迹。因为是步行路过，进去拍了个照片就出来了，古迹位于新德里区域，康诺特广场有公交车直接到的。有时间的话可以去看看。
