Jahangir’s Tomb Print  

Tomb of Jahangir, is the mausoleum built for the Mughal Emperor of India ,Jahangir who ruled from 1605 to 1627.
It is believed that this tomb was designed by Jehangir’s beloved wife Nur Jehan. However, it was built by his son, Shah Jehan, who had a great love for architecture. The building of the tomb with four tall minarets looks like a big Jewel set in the heart of a verdant garden. The profusion of marble ornamentation, magnificent exterior, tastefully decorated interior and expensive perspective of the landscape, all indicate the excellence of the builder’s taste and craftsmanship.

Getting There
The mausoleum is located near the town of Shahdara in Lahore, Pakistan, just across the river ravi and can be reached by road.
