Spread India's Glorious Cultural & Spiritual Heritage

The Tomb of Jahangir is a 17th-century mausoleum built for the Mughal  Emperor Jahangir. The mausoleum dates from 1637, and is located in  Shahdara Bagh near the city of Lahore in Pakistan, along the banks of the Ravi River. This was built during the Mughal period before partition when Pakistan was very much a part of India.

The site is famous for its interiors that are extensively embellished with frescoes and marble, and its exterior that is richly decorated with pietra dura.

The tomb, along with the adjacent Akbari Sarai and the Tomb of Asif Khan, are part of an ensemble currently on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status.
