Tomb of Bahauddin Vazir


Mahabat Maqbara is a palace-mausoleum in Junagadh district in the Indian state of Gujarat, near the holy Girnar Hills in Saurashtra. Junagadh's etymological description of "Old Fort" gives the palace its distinctive name "The Old Fort Palace". The yellow mausoleum, Mahabat Maqbara, is an art form of its kind with well-designed arches, vertical columns, and intricate stone carvings on the walls and windows. The structure is relatively traditional, with a central corridor flanked by four towers and four corners. Its silver-plated holes, curved stairs surrounding its four long minarets, and its onion-shaped dome contribute to its beauty. The towers have each external spiral staircase that winds down in opposing directions to achieve symmetry.

Bahauddin Maqbara


Mahabat Maqbara — With a combination of Indo-Islamic and Gothic structures, Mahabat Maqbara conveys a sense of equality and exchange between the two cultures. Jammi Masjid is on one side of the cemetery and the maqbara of Vazir is on the other side. Mahabbat Maqbara is usually closed to the public but can be seen by finding buttons in the mosque located in the mausoleum. Among the castles and monuments in Gujarat province, Mahabat Maqbara is a fine example of nineteenth-century art.
