Tomb of Dai Anga, Mughal tomb in Begampura, Pakistan

The rectangular mausoleum contains eight surrounding rooms encircling a central chamber topped with a large dome and decorated with Quranic inscriptions.

Constructed in 1671, the tomb honors Dai Anga, who served as wet nurse to Emperor Shah Jahan and maintained substantial influence in the Mughal court.

The structure exhibits Persian architectural elements through its kashi kari tile work, stone carvings, and remaining frescoes that represent Mughal artistic traditions.

Located along the Grand Trunk Road near other historical monuments, the tomb receives protection from the Archaeology Department of Punjab against urban development.

The subterranean crypt beneath the mausoleum contains the remains of both Dai Anga and her daughter Sultana Begum, though access remains restricted.
