A unique 14th-century Tughlaq-era tomb in Delhi's Deer Park, known for its distinct roofless structure, which gives it the name 'Bald Dome'.
Discover what makes this destination truly special
Munda Gumbad, which translates to 'bald dome', is a distinct tomb from the Tughlaq period, located within the green expanse of the Deer Park in Hauz Khas. Its most noticeable feature is the complete absence of a dome, which sets it apart from other monuments of its era. The structure is a robust, square-shaped tomb built with rubble masonry, featuring arched doorways on each of its four sides. It stands on a small, elevated mound, giving it a prominent position in the landscape.
