Group of Tombs, Tauru

The complex comprises tombs with walled enclosurs, an Idgah and a dargah on an uneven, undulating land of about three and half acre. There is also a dried well. The architectural features of these tombs that belonged to the local Khanzaday indicate strong Tuglaq and Lodhi influence. Two of the tombs seem to belong to post Lodhi and early Mughal period. The tombs of Lodi period are mainly two types one based on octagonal plan and the second type on a square plan. Elements of this architectural style such as the square plan with no verandah, exaggerated building height as compared to Tughlaq tombs, walled enclosure around each tomb and shallow arches sunk into rectangular panels filling the space between the main arches are all evident in these tombs. The tomb complex is situated in center of a small town Tauru, near Sohna.
