| History / इतिहास | |
| Brief History / संक्षिप्त इतिहास | Not much is known about the tomb, but the place and the surrounding building used to be a part of the Sarai Shahji Village which is known for its Mahal. As the name suggests, it was meant for the faraway travelers who found shelter here, much like Badli ki Sarai or Sarai Rohilla on the other side of the city. Lesser known, short-lived and less celebrated, this one is among Delhi s lost gems. Sarai Shahji, the obscurest of the obscure in this area of Jahanpanah, the fourth city of Delhi and has always been an enigma. |

| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The low enclosure wall is partially buried. But measures 23.16 sq. m. The western wall has three mihrabs and thus serves as a wall mosque. Both the western angles have low, domed chambers. Now the structure is in a dilapidated condition and the dome of north-west domed chamber remains. The arched entrance to the enclosure which was on the east is disappeared. Initially, the enclosure is strewn with numerous unknown graves, but no trace of such grave found. |
