Tomb of Bakhtiar Khan

Tomb of Bakhtiar Khan, 16th-century tomb in Malik Sarai, India

Description

The Tomb of Bakhtiar Khan is an octagonal mausoleum standing on a low plinth with twenty-two doorways, the primary entrance facing the eastern side. Inside, the structure contains multiple grave platforms distributed throughout its internal chambers.

History

This monument was built in 1568 and serves as the burial place of Mohammad Bakhtiyar Khilji. It was constructed during the Indo-Islamic period and reflects the architectural styles that emerged from cultural exchange at that time.

Culture

The structure displays Indo-Islamic design elements with Quranic verses carved into its walls throughout. These inscriptions reflect the religious traditions of the period and create a spiritual presence inside the tomb.

Practical

The tomb sits roughly 4 kilometers from Chanpur and 16 kilometers from Bhabua district center, accessible via main roads connecting these towns. The drive takes you through rural areas with well-maintained routes linking to nearby urban centers.
