    Chaunsath Khamba which is an open pavilion with 64 marble columns. Tomb of Ataga Khan and many other unknown people housed here. It has got historical importance. Proper. Not a good place just as a house. Not much space for park and setting arrangements. Not an awesome place just like a qualla.

    Chausath Khamba, also spelled Chaunsath Khamba (Urdu: چونسٹھ کھمبا‎, Hindi: चौंसठ खम्बा), is a tomb built during 1623–24. It is located in Nizamuddin precincts of Sufi Muslim shrines and tombs in New Delhi, India. The name means "64 pillars" in Urdu and Hindi. It was built by Mirza Aziz Koka, son of Ataga Khan, as a mausoleum for himself, at the time when Mughal Emperor Jahangir ruled from Delhi. Mirza Aziz Koka had served several times as Jahangir’s Governor of Gujarat before he died in Gujarat.[1][2][3] Chausath Khamba View of Chausath Khamba ReligionAffiliationIslamDistrictNew DelhiProvinceDelhiEcclesiastical or organizational statusTombLeadershipJahangirYear consecrated1624LocationLocation New Delhi, IndiaTerritoryDelhiGeographic coordinates28°35′28.7″N 77°14′30.5″EArchitectureArchitect(s)Koka Khan-i-AzamTypeTombStyleMughal architectureCompleted1623SpecificationsDirection of façadeOpen on four sidesDome(s)25MaterialsMarble StructureEdit Chausath Khamba monument was initially built as a hall in an innovative eclectic architectural style of the Mughal period.

    Graves graves and Graves.... Wherever you see you find only Graves. The history behind it is:- According to inscriptions, the structure houses the tomb of Mirza Aziz Koka (also named Kotaltash). The tomb of his father, Ataga Khan, the Prime Minister of Akbar, is also in the vicinity. In addition, there are several other unidentified tombs inside this monument. It is considered the family shrine of Atgah Khan. The structure is enclosed and has an imposing entrance gate. The Ghalib tomb is located adjoining this structure on the northern side. Comparison is drawn to a similar tomb built in marble in Sarkhej in Gujarat where Mirza Aziz Koka served several times as Jahangir’s Governor of Gujarat. He died in Sarkhej and was temporarily buried there. His remains were later shifted to Chausath Khamba. we can enjoy this place by observing it and live that place by making connection between that place and our soul. Taking selfies and photography should not be the main purpose to visit these type of beautiful, historical and architectural monuments. A monument is a kind of portal which brings us into the past so, we should feel the monument not just through our senses but also through our soul.

    The Chausanth is a 64 Pillar Tomb situated next to Mirza Ghalib's Tomb in the Nizamuddin complex. The main man here was Mirza Aziz Kokaltash, a step brother of the Mughal Emperor, Akbar. Fine piece of Mughal architecture , restored by The Aga Khan Trust. Reasonably clean surroundings & a guardian in attendance..

    The Chausath Khamba (64 pillars) is a literal name and description of the mausoleum of Ataga Khan and his family. The structure is a beautiful white marble building with walls of latticeworks. The interior is filled with cenotaphs marking the tombs of Ataga Khan and his family. The pillars form pretty regular shapes and have niche like capitals. The pillars support inverted and self supporting domes, which again are quite pretty to look at. The structure is free to enter and well worth a detour if in the Nizamuddin district.

    U can not easily find it prominently though it is located on the same road which goes to Nizamuddin Dargah. because of vendors all over, the main entrance of this place appears bit covered and just after 100 meters from main entrance, this is located at right hand side where u enter and see a large ground and urs mahal and then there is a small gate for Chausath Khamba. connected to it is Mirza Ghalib tomb who needs no introduction. visiting this place rewards you into seeing of Ghalib Tomb..the place does not remain crowded as most crowds go to Nizamuddin Dargah and this place lag behind in popularity. the architecture of building is beautiful where like other architecture of Mughal Era, many Tombs can be seen.....good place to see......

    This building of 16th century was inspired by the Iranian Garden Palaces. It is made of marble with very artistic work while the weight of every marble is more than 1000 Kilograms. Because of it's 64 Pillars it is called Chausath Khamba and has 25 domes. The entry is from a big gate and has a mosque. It is very close and infact next to the shrine of famous poet Mirza Ghalib. This inspired Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan to make his Diwan-i-khas which means court for special people in his Red Fort. It has been restored as iron used in the structure was rusting and the monument was about to collapse.

  • 4/5 Madhulika L. 4 years ago on Google
    The overview description of this sight mentions Mirza Ghalib's name as the primary one associated with Chaunsath Khamba, but that's inaccurate. Mirza Ghalib's Tomb is next door to Chaunsath Khamba and is approached through Chaunsath Khamba, but Chaunsath Khamba, built in 1623-24 CE, is actually the tomb of Mirza Aziz Koka, who was the foster brother of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. Chaunsath Khamba is so named because of its 64 white marble pillars. Unusually for a medieval tomb, this one is in the shape of a flat-roofed pavilion, decorated with arches on all sides, and with several cenotaphs (besides that of Aziz Koka) inside.

    Chausath Khamba (Sixtyfour Pillars) is a tomb built Mirza Aziz. It is located in Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya Dargaah complex. The name Chausath Khamba or Sixtyfour Pillars come from this structure itself. This square mausoleum totally constructed from white marble and tomb are also made from marble. This structure has Sixtyfour Pillars and 25 domes but domes are not visible from outside as the roof of this structure is flat. Tomb of one of greatest Urdu Poet Mirza Ghalib is also located in northern side of this structure. But there is one the that we should worry about. There is only one guard at this mausoleum and white marbles are getting black due to less maintenance. I found children of that area are playing cricket inside this. ASI should preserve and maintain these historical monuments.

    Chausath khamba was built in 17th century, by Atgah khan's son who is buried here. While it was meant as a gathering place, now it's full of tombs, at least Atgah khan's son and his wife are buried here. The place was closed though the guard happily opened it for us. This is also the way to Ghalib Mazar.

    Although entry is free, the guard present there would premeditatively escort you through the small mausoleum and you'd end up paying a small fee for this gesture of his. Children play cricket in the yard. It's a small place surrounded by residences.

    64 pillars or Chausath Khambha is graveyard of Famous Poet Mirza Ghalib and his first followers as said to me by some one there . There are two ways to go there 1. Through Mirza Ghalib Tomb 2. Through Main gate of Urs Mahal left of tomb. Place is not so clean. Graveyards are mostly marbled but without maintenance looks dirty.

    The 64-Pillared Chausath Khamba Tomb in Old Nizamuddin Delhi is seen on way to the Hazrat Nizamuddin Aulia Dargah. This hosts the restored 17th-century tombs of Urdu poet Mirza Ghalib & other prominent people of the medieval period. The house and museum of Mirza Ghalib are also in old Delhi in the Chandani Chowk area. The main attraction are the stone-carved nets o the peripheral walls. The stone-carved nets are closed on the side walls. There are also a few tombs outside the main structures but the main attraction here as well is the stone-carved nets that can be seen installed on the fencing wall. ♿️ This place has: No=Ramp access.
