Famous places to visit in Delhi Hauz Khas Complex
One of the places that I love to go
in Delhi is Hauz Khas Village, so that I could visit the famous Hauz Khas complex. It is the backbone of Hauz Khas which is the most affluent neighborhood
in South Delhi which is located in the center and offers both rural and urban
environment.
Hauz Khaz village is area full of
diverse businesses, from art gallery show, to local shops, and a lot of
restaurants and bars which can be quite expensive but you definitely need to
check out that place and take a bite. Or you can go see the Reindeer in the park it is just near the entrance of Hauz Khas village. The area itself, the crowd is a thing
that I have difficult to describe but it’s so rich itself from locals to
foreigners. Now, one of the things that I love to visit over there is the Hauz
Khas Complex, which is just next to the village. Hauz Khas Complex was a part
of Siri, it was the second medieval citiy of Indiaa of the Delhi Sultanate of
Allaaudin Khijo Dynasty around the 13th century. It has houses with water tank, an Islamic
seminary, a mosque, a tomb and pavilions built around an urbanized
village with medieval history traced to the
thirteenth century of Delhi Sultanate reign. The meaning of Hauz Khas is the Royal tank.
The reservoir was built by Alauddin khilji during his reign in the 13th
century, in order to provide water to the new built fort and the city of Siri or
second city of Delhi. Initially, it was identified as Hauz-i-Alai after Khilji.
Then Firoz Shh Tughlaq, in the 14th century, re-excavated the silted
tank and cleared the clogged inlet channels. During that time many buildings
such as Mosque, Madrasa and tombs were built overlooking the water tank. The
tomb contains the remains of Firoz Shah’s tombs, son and grandson’s and pivots
the L-shaped building complex that overlooks the tank.

I was able to visit these, most of the time
that I go to Hauz Khas and last time I visited the park to visit the reindeer. I would definitely recommend you to visit that place,
it is really something that needs to be checked out and you can go there by
Metro on yellow line and get down at Hauz Khas Metro or just take an
auto-rickshaw/cab and it will be fine.
