Tomb of Khan-e-Jahan Bahadur Kokaltash

Tomb of Khan-e-Jahan Bahadur Kokaltash, Mughal mausoleum in Mohalla Ganj, Lahore, Pakistan.

The tomb features an octagonal platform constructed of bricks and marble, topped by a single dome measuring approximately 30 meters in diameter.

Built between 1697 and 1698, this tomb houses Khan-e-Jahan Bahadur Zafar Jung Kokaltash, who served as Mughal governor of Lahore from 1691 to 1693.

The structure incorporates Persian and Mughal architectural elements, displaying intricate tile work and geometric patterns characteristic of Islamic funerary design.

The two-story mausoleum, protected under the Punjab Special Premises Act of 1975, requires structural support to maintain its deteriorating dome.

English officials once transformed this burial place into a dance hall, while the original grave site sustained damage during the Ranjit Singh period.
