Tomb of Sikandar Shah, Medieval mausoleum in Halol, India.

The Tomb of Sikandar Shah stands on an elevated plinth with two central domes and five smaller ones, constructed entirely of sandstone in Halol Taluka.

Built around 1527, Sultan Bahadur Shah commissioned this mausoleum to honor his brothers and predecessors, including Sikandar Shah who was murdered in 1526.

The interior chambers feature intricate floral patterns and geometric designs on the porches and pillars, representing the Ahmedabad architectural style.

The monument, designated as N-GJ-78 by the Archaeological Survey of India, remains accessible for visitors interested in exploring its historical chambers.

One chamber contains a single grave with a low pillar, suggesting the burial place of a martyr, while the other chamber housed the graves of princes.
