Shisha Gumbad ((ヒンディー語:शीशा गुम्बद)) (literal English translation of "Shisha" is "glass" and "Gumbad" is "Dome") is a tomb from the last lineage of the Lodhi Dynasty and is thought to have possibly been constructed between 1489 and 1517 CE. The Shisha Gumbad (glass dome) houses tombs of an unknown family that may have been a part of the Lodhi family and a part of Sikandar Lodi's court. It is however believed by some historians that the tomb is of Bahlul Lodi (died 12 July 1489), who was chief of the Pashtun Lodi tribe and founder & Sultan of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate.〔C.E. Bosworth, ''The New Islamic Dynasties'', (Columbia University Press, 1996), 304.〕 Shisha Gumbad is situated in the Lodhi Gardens in Delhi and the area where the tomb is situated was formally called ''village Khairpur''. ==History== Exact date of construction of Shisha Gumbad is not known. There are four monuments (tombs) in the Lodhi Gardens including the Shisha Gumbad. The oldest of the four tombs is the tomb of Muhammad Shah (who belonged to the Sayyid dynasty). Shah's tomb was constructed in 1444 CE by Ala-ud-din Alam Shah. During the rule of Sikander Lodhi, the Bara Gumbad and adjacent mosque were constructed. Sikander Lodhi's tomb was built by Ibrahim Lodhi in 1517. The Shisha Gumbad is said to have been constructed between 1489-1517 CE by Ibrahim Lodhi.〔 Although some historians believe that the Gumbad is a tomb of Bahlul Lodi, who was the Sultan of the Lodi dynasty of the Delhi Sultanate, the Shisha Gumbad houses tombs of an unknown family that may have been a part of the Lodhi family and a part of Sikandar Lodi's court.〔〔〔〔〔 Initially, all the monuments were built independently and were not in one confine. In early 20th century, a park was developed which was inaugurated by Lady Willingdon on 9 Apr 1936 bringing the four monuments in one confine.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shisha Gumbad」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
