Chausath Khamba, Marble tomb in Nizamuddin, India.
The white marble monument features sixty-four columns supporting twenty-five bays, with each bay crowned by a concealed reverse dome.
Constructed in 1623, the mausoleum serves as the final resting place of Mirza Aziz Koka, the foster brother of Mughal Emperor Akbar.
The structure represents Mughal architectural principles through its square design, featuring five marble arches on each wall supported by square pilasters.
The monument stands at the edge of the Dargah of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya, accessible through a large sunken forecourt with an arched gateway.
The building's twenty-five domes remain hidden from external view, creating a flat roof appearance that differs from traditional Mughal tomb architecture.
