Tomb of Adham Khan

Tomb of Adham Khan, situated in Mehrauli, just opposite Mehrauli bus terminus. It serves as a picnic spot for mehrauli people...in evening whole mehrauli comes out to get fresh air around this tomb. But there is not a single slab which says anything about the tomb.

Adham Khan, a general of Mughal Emperor, Akbar. He was the younger son of Maham Anga, Akbar's wet nurse thus also his foster brother. However, when Adham Khan murdered Akbar’s favourite general Ataga Khan in May 1562, Akbar immediately ordered his execution at Agra Fort.
