OP Iany people visit the Chor Minar at Hauz Khas Enclave, but none bothers to visit
Idgah. Not many people know that a structure called Idgah exists at a park close
by in the Haux Khas Enclave area in the south of Delhi. Chor Minar was built by
Allaudin Khilji to teach criminals a lesson by hanging their severed heads from the
openings in the monument that is so clearly visible in the Hauz Khas area of
south Delhi. The main purpose of the Khilji king was to display the severed heads
of the Mongols who had descended on Delhi and forced him to flee further south
to the Qutab complex which he made his stronghold. When there were no more
Mongols left, he turned to the thieves in the kingdom displaying their heads as a
severe deterrent to crimes of all sorts.
