The park is located adjacent to the World Heritage-listed Qutub Minar and the Qutb complex. Dilkhusha was initially a tomb of Muhammad Quli Khan, brother of Adam Khan, a general and foster brother of Emperor Akbar. The octagonal Mughal tomb built in the 17th century was bought by Metcalfe and remodeled in the style of European residences with extensive gardens and follies for use as a pleasure resort during the monsoon season.
