The first genuine experience with Mehrauli Archeological Park was the latest year, where I visited with my friends. That's the point at which I undertook the responsibility to Explore the undetected spots in Delhi. Even though I had visited some unexplored landmarks prior in different pieces of the city too, But as far as I might be concerned, Qutub Minar was the absolute first landmark, where I was dropped in to explore the Monument.
At the point when I visited Jamali Kamali's burial place and mosque again, I invested somewhat more energy, getting amazed by the Structure and plan that this landmark has conveyed every one, of these hundreds of years.
The Archaeological park holds such a fantastic legacy that every individual would love to pay his visit to this spot, persistently.

I missed so awfully, the burial place of Jamali Kamali for such a long time, as there was a covet in my heart to visit the place over and over again.
