Close to the market in Kidwai Nagar, approached either from
the Delhi-Mehrauli road or from the Ring Road, lie the ruins of a massive
tomb, believed to be that of Darya Khan Lohani, who served all the Lodi
kings in several high posts. 
With the tomb proper in centre and domed chhatris on corners, all built
on an extensive three-tiered platform, it is a unique construction. The
lowest tier has traces of chhatris on corners and a gateway and colonnaded
chambers in front on the east, which make it abundantly, clear that
originally the entire complex must have presented an impressive and
magnificent view.
Evidently the tomb occupies the site of an earlier building, some parts
of which were exposed during recent excavations .
