Hazira Maqbara, Islamic mausoleum in Vadodara, India

The Hazira Maqbara features geometric patterns, domed structures, and ornate carvings across its sandstone facade, showcasing Islamic architectural elements of the Mughal period.

Built in 1586, this mausoleum houses the tomb of Qutbuddin Muhammad Khan, who served as Gujarat's governor during Emperor Akbar's reign and tutored Prince Salim.

The mausoleum integrates Indian and Persian architectural traditions through its structural design, stone craftsmanship, and decorative motifs that adorn the walls.

Located near Pratapnagar area, visitors can access the monument daily from sunrise to sunset, with guided tours available to explore its architectural features.

The mausoleum incorporates acoustic engineering principles, where sounds made at specific points create distinctive echoes throughout the internal chambers.
