Tomb of Sher Shah Suri
The Tomb of Sher Shah Suri is a large red sandstone structure built on an artificial lake and connected to land by a stone causeway. The octagonal building features a tall central dome with smaller domed pavilions at its corners, all rising above the water below.
Sher Shah Suri, a 16th century ruler, commissioned the tomb during his lifetime but died near its completion. Construction finished within months of his death, reflecting the respect his followers held for him.
The tomb honors Sher Shah Suri, a ruler whose memory remains important to people who visit this site. Visitors come to pay respects and learn about a pivotal period in Indian history through this stone monument.
The tomb sits on higher ground and is reached by walking across a stone causeway over water, then climbing stairs to enter. The site is easily accessible by car or e-rickshaw from Sasaram, with parking available nearby.
The tomb was built on an artificial lake meant to symbolize abundance and prosperity, originally requiring boats to reach it rather than a walking path. The steps on the platform still hint at this original water-based design, though stone causeways now make the approach easier.
