The Wazirpur Group of Monuments is a monument complex in a very little park with a total of eight structures. A pleasant surprise hidden away in Sector 5 of R.K.Puram, Delhi. There are two wall mosques, five tombs, set in a row and a baoli, or step-well. All of these structures date back to the period of the Lodi Sultans of Delhi, who ruled in the latter half of the 15th century, up to 1526, when Babur came storming into India and ousted them, setting up the Mughal dynasty. As you enter the complex one can see the bastion-like end turret of the larger wall mosque. This wall mosque is a long one, solid-looking and built of what's known as 'random rubble masonry': rubble, with large chunks of rough-cut squarish stone embedded in it. The only decorative elements here are shallow arched niches
