Tughlaqabad Fort is a ruined fort in Delhi, built by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq, the founder of Tughlaq dynasty, of the Delhi Sultanate of India in 1321. Tughlaqabad Fort is in south Delhi. Tughlaq also built Qutub-Badarpur Road, which connected the new city to the Grand Trunk Road. The road is now known as Mehrauli-Badarpur Road. Tughluqabad still consists of remarkable, massive stone fortifications that surround the irregular ground plan of the city. The height of walls of the TughlaqabadFort is around 10 to 15 meter high. Tughlaqabad Fort used to have 52 gates of which only 13 are left today. The construction of Tughlaqabad Fort commenced and was speedily completed within 4 years. The story behind the ruins of Tughlaqabad Fort is a Curse given by a sufi saint.
Ghias-ud-din is usually perceived as a liberal ruler. However, he was so passionate about his dream fort that he issued a dictate that all labourers in Delhi must work on his fort. Saint Nizamuddin Auliya, a Sufi mystic, got incensed as the work on his baoli (well) was stopped. The confrontation between the Sufi saint and the royal emperor has become a legend in India. The saint uttered a curse which was to resonate throughout history right until today.
The 'Mausoleum of Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq' is connected by a causeway to the southern outpost of the fortification. This elevated causeway 600 ft in length, supported by 27 arches, leads across a former artificial lake.The actual mausoleum is made up of a single-domed square tomb about 8 m x 8 m with sloping walls crowned by parapets.
