جہانگیر قبر، شاہدرہ باغ لاہور پاکستان

جہانگیر قبر، شاہدرہ باغ لاہور پاکستان
The Tomb of Jahangir is a mausoleum built by Jahangir, who ruled the Mughal Empire from 1605 to 1627. The mausoleum is located in Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Punjab. Jahangir died at Rajauri in 1627 after he returned to Lahore. He was buried on the banks of the river Ravi, in the large walled garden of Empress Nur Jahan, three miles northwest of the region of Shahdara, in Delhi. His tomb was built and completed by Emperor Shah Jahan in 1637 AD, at the cost of ten lakhs Rupees. According to some historians, the tomb suffered in the hands of Lahana Singh, one of the three hakims of Lahore before Maharajah Ranjit Singh also stripped it of its most impressive ornaments to decorate the Sikh temple of Amritsar. It housed Amise, a French officer of the Sikh army and Sultan Muhammad Khan, brother of Dost Muhammad Khan of Kabul, which caused further damage. The British government repaired the tomb in 1889 and 1890, with repairs continuing in the following years. The tomb, along with the adjacent Akbari Sarai and the tomb of Asif Khan, is on the tentative list as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
