Madhi Masjid (15th c.), one of the many mosques in the Mehrauli Archeological park, is well preserved and quite unique. Legend is that this mosque was built during the Lodhi Dynasty and another says this building dates back to the Mughal period. The architectural styles of the mosque have much resemblance with both the period. It is about 500 m south of the Jamali Kamali Mosque.
Madhi Masjid has a grand entrance gateway with steps leading up to the gateway, a large courtyard beyond, and a beautifully decorated wall-mosque style qibla wall, but with rooms on either side of the open-air mihrab.
