Sheikh Yusuf Qattal was a popular Sufi saint, who lived during the reigns of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi (1517-1526) and Badshah Zahiruddin Muhammad “Babur” (1526-1530), and died in 1527. He is believed to have performed religious devotions at nearby Satpula, a water harvesting dam built during the reign of Muhammad bin Tughlaq.

It’s a beautifully propertioned structure, the last few remaining blue tiles at the base of the dome give a hint of how spectacular it must have been centuries ago. Records indicate that the tomb was commissioned by Sheikh Alauddin, the grandson of the Sufi saint Sheikh Fariduddin Ganjshakar, the spiritual mentor of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya.
