Khwaja Khizr's Tomb

Khwaja Khizr's Tomb is a historic tomb located in Jatwara, Sonipat, Haryana, on the banks of the Yamuna River. Built between 1522 and 1524 during the reign of Ibrahim Lodi, it is dedicated to Khwaja Khizr, son of Darya Khan. Constructed in red sandstone with Indo-Islamic architecture, it features a domed chamber, arched openings and decorative elements and is protected as a monument of historical importance.

Visitors can expect a freestanding tomb structure built of red sandstone set within an open compound near the Yamuna floodplain. The monument features a large dome, arched entrances, kiosks and a cenotaph inside the main chamber. The surroundings are relatively open with park-like grounds. Visitors can explore the exterior architecture, interior chamber and take photographs of the historic stonework and domed silhouette.

Built between 1522 and 1524 during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim Lodi, the tomb is dedicated to Khwaja Khizr, son of Darya Khan. It represents late Lodi-era architecture in red sandstone and is noted as one of the few monuments from that period in the Sonipat region. The structure is a protected monument under the Archaeological Survey of India.

The tomb is associated with Khwaja Khizr, revered as a saintly figure, and reflects the Indo-Islamic funerary architectural tradition of the Delhi Sultanate period. It remains a locally known heritage landmark and an example of early 16th-century craftsmanship in Haryana.
