The Tomb of Jahangir:

Nur-ud-din Muhammad Salim ‘Jahangir’ (31 August 1569 – 28 October 1627); ruled from 1605 until his death in 1627. He was the only great Mughal who is not buried in India apart from the founder of Mughal Empire Babur, buried in Kabul.

The emperor was ill, it was suggested by the Royal physicians that to recover from ill health he should visit Kabul and Kashmir. Due to cold weather in Kashmir he decided to move to Lahore. On the way to Lahore he died in the foothills of Kashmir near the town of Rajauri on 28 October 1627. A funeral procession transferred his body from Kashmir and arrived in Lahore on Friday, 12 November 1627. The Dilkusha Garden in which he was buried was a "favourite spot" of Jahangir and his wife Nur Jahan, when they lived in Lahore. His son, the new Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, ordered that a "mausoleum befitting an Emperor" should be built in his father's honour to inter his remains.

His tomb is one of the magnificent example of Mughal art and architecture. There is some controversy who supervised the design, wife of the Emperor Nur Jahan or the son Shah Jahan. Both had very good eye on architectural design. Beautiful precious and semi-precious stones were used to beautify the grave with the ninety nine attributes of Allah are also engraved here.

The tomb suffered a great deal of destruction at the hand of Maharajah Ranjeet Singh who stripped the ornaments off the tomb and sent them to Amritsar in order to decorate a Sikh temple. The tomb was also used as the residence of a Sikh army officer of Spanish origin and Sultan Muhammad Khan, brother of Dost Muhammad khan of Kabul, caused great damage to the mausoleum.
