Monday, August 17, 2015

British Agent Sir Thomas Metcalfe's Canopy is located in Mehrauli Archaeological Park, which is located near Qutub Complex on the Sri Aurobindo Marg, the closest Metro station being Qutub Minar. 
Information on Metcalfe's Canopy

It is located near the Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb.

The Canopy aka Chatri is located atop a small hillock and offers a wonderful view of the Jamali Kamali Mosque and the Qutub Minar in a distance. The stone made Canopy is supported by six pillars which are sculptured.

It felt good to rest here after walking for hour's in the hot sun. As it is on a height, feel refreshed with cool breeze. Not sure why it was placed here, in the middle of nowhere.

We then headed over to see Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb.
