Detailed Solution

Alauddin Khilji constructed Hauz Khas in Delhi.
The Hauz Khas, an imperial tank, was built by Alauddin Khilji in the 13th century to provide water to the Siri Fortification region. Hauz Khas is also referred to as another city of Alauddin Khilji's Dynasty during the period of the Delhi Sultanate. The word Hauz Khas is derived from Urdu. The term 'Hauz,' which signifies 'water tank,' and 'Khas,' represents 'imperial.' The Hauz Khas has a water tank, a mosque, a mausoleum, and canopies constructed around an urbanised community that traces its existence from the Delhi Sultanate period. Illtutmish built it to supply water to Hauz Khas water which is also used for domestic and irrigation purposes in the city.
