Nizamuddin Tombs

In a walled compound, there are a number of graves, most of them set in pavilions with beautifully carved stone lattices. Some local people believe that these are the tombs of the family of the noted 14th century Sufi saint, Hazrat Nizamuddin Ayulia. Others contend that they belong to the descendants of the 16h century Nizam-ud-Din Ahmad Bakshi. He wrote one of the best histories of India, the Tarifch-i-Nizami, and was made the Commander-in-Chief of the Mughal army in Gujarat.
