Lal Gumbad, also known as Shaikh Kabir-ud-Din Auliya's tomb or Rakabwala Gumbad, is located in Malviya Nagar, in
New Delhi. Shaikh-Kabir-ud-Din Auliya, a disciple of Shaikh Raushan Chiragh-i-Delhi, was buried here in 1397.
Lal Gumbad is a mid 14th century 'Red Mausoleum', one of the finest monuments of the pre-Mughal city, and one of the least known. Its entrance is on the east through a pointed arch, decorated with marble bands. The tomb consists of a square chamber with battered walls faced with red sandstone, and the roof surmounted by a plastered conical dome.
