Wajihuddin's Tomb, Indo-Islamic tomb in Khanpur, Ahmedabad, India.

The tomb features a central dome higher than surrounding domes, with perforated stone windows and detailed geometric patterns across its surfaces.

Governor Syed Murtuza Khan Bukhari commissioned this mausoleum between 1606 and 1609 during Emperor Jahangir's reign to honor Sufi saint Wajihuddin Alvi.

The tomb stands as a testament to Gujarat's religious diversity, combining Islamic architectural elements with regional construction techniques of the medieval period.

The structure contains an underground reservoir and cistern that visitors can access through the main entrance during regular visiting hours.

The water in the tomb's underground cistern, believed to possess healing properties, has maintained a constant level throughout its recorded history.
