    HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: Purpose of Construction


    In 13th century, there was a large plain called SIRI where important battles were fought by Alauddin
    Khilji against Mongols. At the end of the 13th century, Alauddin khilji decided to built reservoir to serve
    Basic needs of growing population.
    The tank called Hauz e- Alai (tank of Alauddin) was spread over huge area of 6 hectares
    With capacity of 800 million lts. of water which remained filled of monsoon water naturally.
    After death of Alauddin, focus shifted away from Siri to Jahanpanah as new capital. The water channels
    get silted up and dry bed began to cultivated. In the middle of 14 th century, Firoz Shah Tughlaq
    ascended the throne and he shown great interest in educational buildings and laying out
    gardens etc. so the tank was desilted again and along eastern and southern edge, Madarsa was built set
    Amidst beautiful gardens and named HAUZ KHAS.
    After the death of Firoz Shah, the tank again silted up and area came to be inhabited by rural population

    Most restaurants are less than 100 meters from the
    monuments and so are under archaeological laws and
    the area has no municipal water supply, the restaurants,
    bars and pubs are using ground water, thereby depleting

    certificate (NOC) from the department.
