Bijri Khan’s tomb dates back to the Lodi period but his identity and his nobleness remain a mystery. The entry to the tomb is restricted but one can request the guard (only if he is in a good mood) to open the gate for a visit.

Situated at R.K. Puram surrounded by a cluster of slums, it goes overlooked by many. But the mystics around it can captivate one to come and visit this tomb of an unknown ruler.

A powerful king, a fearless ruler, a boastful bigot or just a fortunate commoner on this earth;

This untraced Khan must have had a life that was of a treasured worth.
