Jamali Kamali Mosque and Tomb, located in the Archeological Village complex in Mehrauli, Delhi, India, comprise two monuments adjacent to each other; one is the mosque and the other is the tomb of two persons with the names Jamali and Kamali. The name "Jamali" is Urdu, though originates from "Jamal" which means "beauty".
"Jamali" was the alias given to Shaikh Fazlu'llah, also known as Shaikh Jamali Kamboh or Jalal Khan, a renowned Sufi saint who lived during the pre-Mughal dynasty rule of the Lodi's, a period from the rule of Sikander Lodi to the Mughal Dynasty rule of Babur and Humayun. Jamali was greatly regarded.
Kamali was an unknown person but associated with Jamali and his antecedents have not been established.
Their names are tagged together as "Jamali Kamali" for the mosque as well as the tomb since they are buried adjacent to each other.
The mosque and the tomb were constructed in 1528-1529, and Jamali was buried in the tomb after his death in 1535.
