Mubarak Shah's Tomb
Located in the Kotla Mubarakpur area, behind the plush South Extension Part I locality, Mubarak Shah's tomb is considered to be one of the finest examples of octagonal Sayyid tombs. The tomb can be reached either by taking the August Kranti Marg or the Ring Road through the Gurdwara Road. Built around 1434 when Mubarak Shah Sayyid, the second ruler of the Sayyid dynasty died, the tomb is today survived by its southern gate and a mosque to the west.

The main features of this octagonal tomb are its 'low dome, buttresses, and chhatris', which became popular architectural features during the later periods, especially during the Lodi rule. The southern gate of the tomb has arched openings with a mihrab in the western side of the octagonal chamber. Enclosed by a verandah, the corners are supported by the sloping buttresses. Rising from the 'sixteen-sided battlemented drum', the broad dome is decorated with colored bands of plaster and has Quranic inscriptions at the base of the dome. The other features of the tomb that are worth appreciating are the lantern shaped canopies of the turrets on each corner of the drum and the unique chhatris proudly standing over the roof.

Though not in a good condition, the tomb is still an interesting place to visit.
