Info
Sabz Burj ("Green Dome") is an octagonal tomb situated in Mathura Road, Nizamuddin complex, beside Humayun's Tomb, Old Delhi, made of blue tiles (although subz means "green") and stone. The structure is crowned with a blue dome and it is popularly known as the Neeli ("Blue") Chhatri. It is a protected archeological monument of Delhi. The construction was influenced by Central Asian architecture, which consists of alternating wide and narrow sides. Entrances have been built into the wider sides, while the narrower sides are ornamented in a pattern of incised plaster, paint or glazed tile. The Archaeological Survey of India has renovated the structure.
