Ibrahim Lodi built this tomb at Jatwara in Sonipat between 1522 and 1524 for Khwaja Khizr, whose father Darya Khan Sharwani was an influential noble in his own court. It was the last thing the Lodi dynasty put up. The material is the interesting part — red sandstone over Lakhauri brick and kankar block — and a Persian inscription inside is what tells us who is buried here. It is small and it is five hundred years old. Half an hour, if Sonipat is on your way.

Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra)

Bhadrakali Temple (Kurukshetra) in Thanesar, Kurukshetra, Haryana is one of the Shakti Peethas, the sacred shrines of the Divine Mother in the Shakta tradition of Hinduism. According to tradition, this is where the ankle bone of Goddess Sati fell when Lord Vishnu's Sudarshana Chakra divided her body. Here the Goddess is worshipped as Savitri (Bhadrakali), and her guardian Bhairava (a form of Shiva) as Sthanu. Shakti Peethas are among the holiest pilgrimage sites for devotees of the Goddess, drawing pilgrims especially during Navratri and Durga Puja. Each is tied to the legend of Sati, whose body parts fell across the Indian subcontinent and beyond, sanctifying the ground where they landed.
