Tomb of Ataga Khan, Mughal tomb in South East Delhi, India
The red sandstone structure features a large outer dome measuring 4 meters in diameter, with intricate marble carvings displaying Quranic verses on its walls.
Constructed between 1562 and 1566, this mausoleum commemorates Ataga Khan, Emperor Akbar's prime minister who was murdered by general Adham Khan in 1562.
The tomb combines Persian and Indian architectural elements, including rough sandstone construction, marble inlays, and geometric patterns characteristic of Mughal design.
The monument stands on elevated ground near Nizamuddin Dargah complex, with a wooden entrance door positioned on the southern side of the structure.
The architect Ustad Khuda Quli designed the tomb while Baqi Muhammad from Bukhara executed the calligraphy work throughout the structure.
