Magnificent and beautiful Islamic structure. Built in Kalpi (3km outside the city), Chaurasi Gumbad (84 domes) is a square nine domed structure in a walled courtyard with two graves under central dome. The probable date assigned to this gumbad late 15th or early 16th century. This Islamic architecture is believed to be a tomb of Lodi Shah Sultan. It has 84 door arches. Each wall is engraved with old Islamic Designs. One can find this place ultimate calm. It is colder than usual in summer. Indian government is taking care it as most of the designs were destroyed and degraded.
