Chini Ka Rauza, Mughal mausoleum in Ram Bagh, Agra, India

The octagonal structure features intricate Persian inscriptions, colored ceramic tiles, and a dome supported by slender minarets along the riverbank of Yamuna.

Built in 1635, this tomb houses the remains of Allama Afzal Khan Mullah, a Persian poet who served as Prime Minister under Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.

The monument exhibits a fusion of Indo-Persian architectural elements through its detailed tilework, floral paintings, and geometric patterns across its walls.

Located one kilometer north of Itmad-Ud-Daulah Tomb, the monument welcomes visitors daily from 10 AM to 5 PM without an entrance fee.

The structure incorporates earthenware pots within its facade to reduce concrete weight, marking an innovative construction technique of the 17th century.
