Built in 1793 it was created by the Muslim architects who came from the West (Persia is the assumption). These workers who built the famous Hindu temple Kantojir Mondir (aka Kantajew Temple) settled in a near by village and built this beautiful mosques for their daily prayers.
In addition to three domes with octagonal towers at the four corners and the three arched doors that welcome visitors inside the mosque, there are two arched windows on each of the north and south sides of the mosque. These windows being in cool summer breeze and natural light into the room.

Created by the Muslim architects who came from the West (Persia is the assumption) to build the nearby famous Hindu temple Kantojir Mondir (aka Kantajew Temple) this mosque was completed in 1793 by those workers.
There are three arched doors (the middle one seen here) which welcome the visitors inside the mosque. Rectangular #terracotta plaques beautifully decorate the outside mosque walls.

The Sarai Shahji Mahal can be easily located in the Geetanjali Road that passes through the Shivalik area of Malviya Nagar. Although it is technically an area attached to the Begumpur Village, it is better to go via the main road rather than entering the village from the other side and getting lost in the maze of narrow alleys. The palace and the surrounding buildings used to be a part of the Sarai Shahji village.

As the name suggests (Sarai means ‘inn’), it was meant for the faraway travellers who found shelter here, much like Badli ki Serai or Sarai Rohilla on the other side of the city. These buildings are predicted to be from the Mughal era, thus making them a bit more recent as compared to the other monuments in this area.

Location: Sarai Shahji village, Hauz khas

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.
