This octagonal maqbara (Tomb) of Adham Khan, was built in 1561, during Akbar's reign.

The Tomb lies to the 500 metres South West of the Qutub Minar, immediately before one reaches the town of Mehrauli. It is now a protected monument by Archeological Survey of India.

This place is also known as Bhoolbhulaiya because of it's labyrith passages.
