The Bara Gumbad was constructed in 1490 CE, during the reign of the Lodhi dynasty. Its construction is generally attributed to Sikandar Lodhi, and it is believed to have the earliest constructed full dome of any building in Delhi.

"MAMMY AND SHIVAM I LOVE YOU" A daughter scribbling on the wall of Bara Gumbad infront of her mother. This shows us the educates given by a mother to her daughter. This was more shocking to me when I saw this mother handing a piece of charcoal to her daughter for scribbling on the wall and later kissed her daughter's forehead for doing so. #New Delhi #LodhiGarden #BaraGumbad #ScribblingOnMonuments #Shame #NikonD7100 #ZakirAyubBhat (at Bara Gumbad)
