Eklakhi Mausoleum, 15th-century mausoleum in Kutub Sahar, India.

The square structure features a single dome, four-meter-thick brick walls, and decorative terracotta elements on each of its four facades.

Built around 1425, the mausoleum contains three tombs, including those of Sultan Jalaluddin Muhammad Shah, the last Sultan to rule from Pandua.

The architectural design combines elements from local Bengali temple traditions with Islamic construction methods, reflecting the regional building practices.

The mausoleum measures 14 by 47 feet in its interior chamber and includes four entrance doorways with pointed arches on each side.

The structure earned its name 'Eklakhi' from its construction cost of one lakh rupees, establishing a prototype for later Bengal Sultanate architecture.
