About This Location

Mehrauli Archaeological Park is a hidden gem containing over 80 medieval monuments from the 10th to 19th centuries — tombs, mosques, pavilions, and baolis (step-wells), all largely uncrowded and free. The Balban's Tomb (Delhi's first true arch), Jamali-Kamali Mosque and tomb, and the Rajon ki Baoli step-well are particularly photogenic. Pre-wedding couples here get uninterrupted private access to ancient ruins rarely featured in mainstream shoot locations.
