The title of this aquatint is a rare instance of the Daniells being muddled or misled in identifying a building. The famous poet Amir Khusrau is buried within the enclosure of the dargah of the Sufi saint Nizam al-Din Auliya. The building shown is nearby but distinct. Known as the Chausath Khamba, it covers numerous graves including that of Mirza Aziz Koka (d. 1624), son of Ataga Khan.
