These arches are constructed with corbels rather than with true arches.The structure has no dome or other roof. It has been conjectured that theoriginal dome collapsed; it has also been noted that the exterior walls of thetomb are comparatively thin (2.2 meters), and might not have been able tosupport the outward thrust generated by a dome.

period. He was an experienced warrior, statesman and an able
administrator. He liberalized various harsh measures imposed by AlauddinKhalji and restored peace and order in the kingdom.
He built the fortified city of Tughalaqbad in Delhi.
Muhammad Tughlaq was a great scholar and was well versed invarious branches of learning.
Mohammed Tughlaq the son and successor of Ghiyas-ud-Din alsoplayed an important role in the development of architectures during
Tughlaq dynasty.
His major contributions were the fourth city of Delhi, fortifiedwalls named Jahan-Pannah or the World Refuge, a double storied
bridge of seven spans named Sath Pul, Bijai Mandal, the
presumably part of a "Palace of a Thousand Columns," and
several other buildings.the city was deserted and desolate during the year 1340 due to theunpredictable policy of Muhammad Tughlaq to change the capital
from Delhi to the city of Daulatabad. A Hadith in Tughra, acalligraphic style verypopular with the

the nobles, the army and the ulema. To please orthodox Muslims he imposed jizyah on
Brahmans also and made it a separate tax. He also granted
lands to the ulema and made iqtas hereditary.
The one remarkable feature of his reign was his interest inpublic works.
He founded new cities like Hissar, Ferozpur, Jaunpur andFiruzabad.
He also constructed dams, canals, sarais, mosques and
madarsas and laid about 1200 state managed fruit gardens. He covered his creations with plastic ornamentation in a rich
and varied order. The appearance of the building art
represented the suppression of the indigenous impulse.
His major creations were, Ferozshah Kotla, the fifth city ofDelhi, three other fortress cities named as Jaunpur,Fathabad, and Hissar, Khirki Masjid and the Begum-puri
mosque at Jahanpanah, Kali Masjid, another mosque in the
Dargah ofShah Alam at Timurpuri and the Kalan Masjid

alternating slabs in different colours of stone; later paint and
colour-wash.
Important buildings were decorated with carved and moulded
stucco.
The walls were made up ofsun-dried bricks.

his formidable-looking fort was the third iteration of the city of Delhi,Tughlaqabad.
It was built in 1321 by Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq (or Ghiyath ul-Din) and was
complete with palaces, mosques and other structures.
it was abandoned soon after the death of its builder a few years later,probably due to the lack of water in the area, despite a local legend thatclaims the Saint Nizamuddin Auliya had cursed it in a quarrel with
Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq.
Although the walls are very well preserved, the interior structures lie inruins and are overgrown with vegetation.
The architecture of the Tughlaqabad city was based on Roman fashion andwas divided into two parts, one part consisted of the fortresscorresponding to the castle of the Occident and the other part was the city,which extended out for the residential and military requirements of thetimes.

Construction of Tughlaqabad was a mere effort of Ghiyas al-Din. This city was located about 8 km to the east of Lalkot.
Bastions were built to impede the use of ladders during attacks being convex inform.
Wall used to carry lancet windows for the archers. Ramps for the passage elephants were provided one southern side.
A moat surrounds the citadel that dominates the whole tughlaqabad.
The great Maghrebian voyager Ibn Battuta left a description of the site, Here were
the treasures ,and the great palace that he, Ghiyas al-Din, built in golden bricks sothat when the sun rose it shone brilliantly that no one succeeded in keeping his eyeupon it.
It consists of its spear-head "fringe" however; the horse-shoe shape tomb has beencustomized into one of a more "Tudor" outline with a slight decorative double curve
at the crown. The typical style of combining of the arch and the beam in the tomb was used for the
first time in the architecture during the Tughlaq dynasty.

walls which are Tughlaq hallmarks.
Each wall has arched gatewaysdecorated with the inevitable, butbeautiful, latticework and white marble.
The dome is entirely of white marbleand is quite striking indeed. This rathersevere tomb does allow itself a fewinscribed panels, arch borders,
latticework screens and 'lotus-bud'edges which decorate it.
The top of the enclosed walls offers
excellent views of both Tughlaqabad
and Adilabad Forts.

Built on an elevated plinth with detritus stone, whichwere thickly plastered, the Khirki mosque is double
storeyed and has a series of basement cells in the
lower storey.
All the four corners of the structure are occupied byimposing bastions making the mosque look like a fort
It is closed on top which makes it unique and
different from others.
It is a small quadrangle-shaped mosque and iscovered entirely by a roof, which is an unusual thing
for building of mosques.
The presence of several domes on the roof along withthe wonderful latticework or jali on the windows
represents the typical Islamic style of architecture

Khirki Masjid, Delhi (India)
The immense Khirki Masjid with itsmonumental entrance was Firuz
Shah's greatest architectural
achievement. The small rectangular
mosque has a prayer courtyard that is
surrounded by a two-storied cloister
that has magnificent arches
surmounted by a roof with small,
hemispherical domes. Arched
windows on the second storey have
intricate jali patterns.
The main feature of the mosque is its distinctivewindow opening withjalis or tracery known as
khirki or latticed windows.
Placed on the upper level of the mosque's exteriorwall these jalis were preponderantly carved stone

The courtyard has pillars and is divided into 25
squares with five on each side. Each square isfurther divided into nine smaller squares.
A cluster of nine small low domes made in theTughlaq pattern covers the following larger squares
- the center square of the courtyard with two on thecorners, three on each side and one in the middle.
The four diagonal squares are left uncovered, through which sunlight found its way to theinner sanctum of the mosque. The remaining squares are covered with flat roofs, thus
making the mosque partly covered and partly uncovered. It is said that since Khan-I-Jahan
used the mosque for his private worship, it was designed like this to beat the intense heat
of the region
The Masjid has an entrance on all three sides, excepton the western side.

The four squares on the diagonals are left open to letin the much needed air and light.
Glancing from the out side, the Masjid gives animpression of a moat or a fort with a moat located inits inside.
Khirki Masjid is highly enriched with architecturaldesigns of both Mughal and Lodi periods.
It is considered as one of the forerunner of later-daymagnificent Islamic structures of India. However, its
pillars and brackets show local Hindu influence. Khirki Masjid is built with rubble masonry enclosed
on the exterior with plaster has an imposing stepsleading up to it.

The Indo-Islamic style of architecture was the
amalgamation of Islamic architecture as well as
Hindu style of architecture. Structures were colossal.
Lattice work was done with sheer finesse.
Marbles and stones were widely used. Grandeur of these ornamentation reflects the
development of architecture during Tughlaq dynastyand whispers the saga of the glorious Islamic
architecture in India
