Today I am to going write about the tomb of one of the great Mughal emperors of India (sub-continent) known by his imperial name Jahangir. Jahangir who ruled the great India for about 22 years and built beautiful structures all across the sub-continent lies in his beautiful tomb near Lahore.
Tomb of Jahangir is a mausoleum built for Emperor Jahangir by his son Shah Jahan 10 years after the death of his father. This tomb is located near the town of Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Pakistan. The entrance of mausoleum is through two massive gateways of stone. They are of red colour and they are beautifully decorated.
After entering the gateway you look at the massive and attractive walled garden. The tomb is present the middle of the walled garden.
The tomb has 4 large minarets which are at least 30 meters high.
The tomb is embellished with frescoes and pietra dura inlay and coloured marble.
I managed to take some beautiful pictures of some the beautiful architectural work done in this tomb.
The corridor around the mausoleum is adorned with the most elegant mosaic, representing flowers and Quranic verses.
Before entering the tomb you have to pass through a huge gate which is guarded by guards.
After entering it you have to walk through the beautiful gallery to the grave which you can see in the below pictures is simply breathtaking.
taking. The interior of the tomb is an elevated sarcophagus of white marble, the sides of which are wrought with flowers of mosaic in the same elegant style as the tombs in the Taj Mahal at Agra. One the sides of the sarcophagus the ninety nine attributes of ALLAH are inlaid in black.
Hope you liked the pictures and this little trip :)
