Tomb of Ali Mardan Khan, Mughal tomb in Mughalpura, Lahore, Pakistan.

The octagonal structure stands on a 58-foot-wide podium, featuring a central dome with a 42-foot diameter mounted on an elevated drum formation.

Built in the 1630s, this mausoleum contains the remains of Ali Mardan Khan, a Persian-Kurdish noble who governed Kashmir, Lahore, and Kabul under Mughal rule.

The tomb combines Persian and Mughal architectural elements, displaying remnants of original fresco paintings within its two-story gatehouse structure.

The tomb entrance lies through a walled passageway along Mughalpura Road, marked by a railway sign labeled MET-1 near the tracks.

Originally constructed for Khan's mother, the underground burial chamber requires visitors to descend stairs to reach the final resting place.
