Beautifully illustrated, this book is unique as it brings for the first time a monograph on Sultanate tombs of Delhi. The book attempts to analyse relationship between tomb architecture and contemporary conditions, through a closer reading of their type, location, epigraphic programme and decoration. Sharp shift in nature of tomb building from early and mid Sultanate periods to late Sultanate period due to changing socio-political considerations has been discussed together with their stylistic development.
