Shrine of Khalid Walid, Medieval Sufi shrine in Nawan Shehr, Kabirwala, Pakistan.

The fortified rectangular structure measures 70 by 90 feet with semicircular bastions at each corner and a low sloped dome on top.

The shrine was constructed by Ali bin Karamakh, Governor of Multan, during Muhammad of Ghor's reign in the late 12th to early 13th century.

The interior walls display intricate cut-brick designs and a mihrab with Kufic calligraphy, reflecting the influences of Central Asian Seljuk architecture.

The shrine contains four entrances leading to vaulted galleries and rectangular chambers, with a western wall projection indicating the prayer direction.

This monument represents the earliest Muslim funerary structure in South Asia, marking the beginning of tomb architecture development in southern Punjab.
