A journey back to Lodhi Dynasty gives us a glance of the era before the powerful Mughals. Jamali-Kamali Mosque and the Tomb in Mehrauli of Delhi takes us to those glorious times.
Jamali aka Shaikh Fazlu'llah was a Sufi saint and poet. He happened to visit Delhi during one of his travels and became a court poet under the partonage of Lodhi rulers. Some records even suggest his existence in the court of Babar and Humayun.

Mysterious Kamali!
It is surprising that there are no accounts of a person named Kamali. Though, the tombs of both Jamali and Kamali are built together, no one has got any information about Kamali. In all the historical records, only Jamali, the Sufi saint's life has been portrayed with no reference to Kamali.
