Descripción del sitio
The Hauz-I-Alai or the Hauz Khas pond is an important water work that was excavated by Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji. It was built by Ala-ud-din to overcome the problem of water shortage faced by the people of his capital city of Siri. Although the pond went into disuse after the end of the Khilji dynasty, it again gained importance under Ferozshah Tughlaq. Ferozshah excavated the pond again and built a number of buildings near it, beautifying the entire area around this pond.Monuments of India - Brought to you by TripsGuru.com
