Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam, 14th-century Islamic mausoleum in Multan District, Pakistan
The octagonal structure rises 35 meters high with red brick walls adorned by intricate terracotta tiles and geometric patterns on its exterior surfaces.
Built between 1320 and 1324 under Ghiyath al-Din Tughluq's patronage, this mausoleum represents the earliest known example of Tughluq architectural design.
The tomb functions as a spiritual center where followers gather to honor Shah Rukn-e-Alam, a respected Sufi saint from the Suhrawardiyya order.
Visitors can access the mausoleum through three entrances, with the main entrance relocated to the eastern side to align with the direction of Mecca.
The structure contains no internal support pillars despite its massive dome, while housing the graves of Shah Rukn-e-Alam and 72 family members.
