Excellent architecture of Mughals. But currently in worse condition

Great symbol of Muslim Architecture in Subcontinent. Restoration is undergoing for this place.

Moghal era minister Asif ja khan tomb located in the mughal king jahangir tomb complex and along with akbari saraye (inn). This is very beautiful tomb amazing structure but unfortunately the decoration, wall fresco and tomb marble are removed before partition. A few years ago someone scratched his name from his grave marble.

Asif Khan Tomb Mirza Abdul Hassan, Itiqab  Khan or Asif Khan (III) himself was the stuff of legend, brother of Empress Noor Jahan and father of Mumtaz Mahal ( the title given to Arjumand Bano) the lady of Taj and favorite wife of Shahjahan. Asif Khan ascended to an unprecedented rank of 9000 personnel and 9000 horses, a rank once reserved only for princes. Emperor Shahjahan appointed him Sippah-Salar, (commander-in-chief) and also granted him the title of Yameen-ud Daula. Asif Khan was not even instrumental in struggle of Shahjahan for securing Mughal throne but also became famous for his taste for art and architecture. He died in November, 1641 A.D and buried in this mausoleum which was built by Emperor Shahjahan in four years at cost of three lakhs rupees. Asif Khan was reputed to have left a colossal fortune, his house in Lahore (Choona Mandi Women College) alone having cost of 20 lakh rupees at the time of its construction. The entire compound, garden and tomb, is enclosed by a brick wall finished with lime plaster and approached through an imposing gate on south.The tomb is not a part of the Jahangir’s tomb complex but at present its entrance is from Akbari-Serai. The all original entrances of Chahar-Bagh Rauza compound were blocked in recent times. As soon as one enters in the compound, he gets struck by the high bulbous dome of the octagonal monument, raised on a large octagonal podium with its recessed adcoves, the very character of Ali Mardan’s tomb. This is one of the much ravaged monuments during the Sikh period but still impressive because of the expansiveness of the garden around it. The spacious garden once set with reservoirs, fountains and beautiful walkways (khayabans).

Upon the visit to Jhangir'sTomb, I got a chance to see the tomb of Asif Ali. He's the brother in law of Jahangir. Brother of Jhangir's beloved wife Nur E Jahan and father of renowned Mumtaz who is resting in Taj Mahal. This tomb is a historical monument that was built in memory of Asif Ali who was a great statesman, and a military commander. The tomb is located besides Akbari Sarai and has a large dome just behind the mosque of Akbari Sarai. You can enter the place through a gap like door besides the mosque in Akbari Sarai. Unlike tomb of Jhangir, Asif Ali's tomb is not preserved well. The state of this historic place is completely devastated and it feel more like a rose garden as there are many roses around the tomb.

It was well lit beautiful tomb of Asif Khan brother to Jahangeer ' beloved wife Mumtaz Mehal. But things were taken away from his tom and now its ruin :(( nice place to visit with kids and introduce the history we hired a tour guide and that made the tour very special

Was a good experience. Tickets aren't expensive. Had the historical background mentioned on a board. There was some renovation going on. We prayed duhr in the masjid near by. Could be slightly improved.

Asif Khan’s Tomb - he died in 1641 and his tomb was completed four years later. He’s the father of Mumtaz Mahal who is buried with Shah Jahan at the Taj Mahal. She has one of the most visited tombs on the planet. His is more open to the elements, has been looted, damaged and neglected. It’s still impressive but this place is only on the UNESCO proposed list because it hasn’t been sufficiently restored. I mean, there are shrubs growing out of the top of the dome.

Constructed by the emperor Shah Jahan himself, son-in-law of Asif Khan. Asif Khan was also the brother of Noor Jahan and the father of Queen Mumtaz, buried in Taj Mahal in Agra, India. Unfortunately, the beautiful building is in ruins condition due to the plundering by the Sikhs during their rule and the negligence by those in charge since. The building needs a lot of restoration work. The ceiling of the tomb has one the finest stucco work perhaps in the world, in risk of all falling down if not preserved. A must visit site while visiting Jahangirs tomb.

Amazing and peaceful place 🌲🌲 And huge gardens in the surroundings

The Tomb of Asif Khan is a 17th-century mausoleum located in Shahdara Bagh, in the city of Lahore, Punjab.

Asif Khan was the sibling of Sovereign Nur Jahan, and father of Arjumand Bano Begum, who turned into the associate of Shah Jahan under the name Mumtaz Mahal. In 1636, he was raised as Khan-e-Khana and president and after a year turned into the legislative leader of Lahore. The Burial place of Asif Khan is a seventeenth century tomb situated in Shahdara Bagh, in the city of Lahore, Punjab. It was worked for the Mughal legislator Mirza Abul Hassan Jah, who was named Asif Khan. Asif Khan was sibling of Nur Jahan, and brother by marriage to the Mughal Sovereign Jahangir. Asif Khan's burial chamber is found adjoining the Burial chamber of Jahangir, and close to the Burial place of Nur Jahan. Asif Khan's burial place was implicit a Focal Asian compositional style, and remains in the focal point of a Persian-style Charbagh garden The burial place is constructed completely of block in an octagonal arrangement, and sits in the focal point of a huge quadrangle measure 300 yards on each side. The burial place is set upon a chabutra, or platform, that hoists the structe 3 feet 9 inches comparative with the nursery. Each side of the octagon estimates 38 feet 8 inches, Huge entryways exist in both northern and southern walls, however the burial chamber's principal door is the southern one. A little mosque is found in the eastern wall that was changed over into a home during the English period, while the western wall offers admittance to the Burial chamber of Jahangir through the Akbari Sarai. Octagonal burial places were never utilized for heads, however were normally utilized for entombment of high-positioning aristocrats like Asif Khan. The floor of the stage on which the burial place stands was worked with Sang-e Abri, or red limestone, while the external walls were covered with red sandstone.

This is very beautiful place his building is very old and antique and i love old and antique places.

The tomb of Asif Jah is located opposite to the tomb of Emperor Jahangir. Mirza Abul Hasan Asif Jah (also called Asaf Khan) was the brother of Empress Nur Jahan, who was a beloved wife of Jahangir, and the father of Arjmand Banu Begum( Mumtaz Mahal), the “Lady Of Taj” who is buried in India at Agra in Taj Mahal. Under the Shah Jahan, Asaf Jah was the Prime Minister of India and the Viceroy of the Punjab. He also owned a palace in Lahore, which was later called ‘Asaf Jah’s Haveli’. Asaf Jah died in 1641 AD and his tomb was built by the order of Emperor Shah Jahan who was his son-in-law. Once a grand edifice, the tomb is octagonal in structure with a high bulbous dome and echoes the architectural character of Ali Mardan Khan’s tomb. I am sorry to say that now a days the condition of the tomb is very miserable. We should love with our precious heritage assets.

Opposite the tomb of Emperor Jahangir in Sarai Akbari, to the west, is tomb of Mirza Abul Hasan Asif Jah, the brother of Noor Jahan and father of Arjumand Bano Begum(Taj Mahal). He was known as Asif Khan who was a military Commander and Wazir of Emperor Jahangir. The construction of the tomb started in 1641and completed in 1645. Asif Jah died on 10th November 1641. It was built by Emperor Shah Jahan at the cost of Rupees three lakhs. It is made of brick in the form of octagon, and supports a bulb dome of same material. It is well known for the beautiful encaustic or glazed tiles which decorated it arched entrances; but nothing of these is left now. The whole of interior with floor was covered with white marble, inlaid with costly stones, and walls outside were embellished with variety of stones. These all were removed by Ranjit Singh to decorate temple at Amritsar, and partly used partly building the marble-house in Hazuri Bagh Lahore. The Edifice stands on a platform's, the sidewalls of which were covered with red bricks. At each of four corners is reservoir of water, now, in ruins. The whole of this beautiful structure was in the midst of a spacious garden with fountains of water and beautiful walks, traces of which are still to be seen. There was mosque attached to it which was converted by British as European residence. The sarcophagus is made of pure marble, and Arabic inscriptions on it are in the same style as those of tomb of Jahangir. Asif Khan was Commander of 9000 personnel and horses. His salary as Commander in Chief was Rs 40,50, 000 besides many jagirs and lands. On his death, he left more than 25 million of property. The house which he owned valued over Rs 20 Lakh. This Building is now being used as Govt Fatima Jinnah Women College Choona Mandi Lahore.

Needs a lot of renovation but a great example from the 16th century.

Great place. A big and peaceful place to visit with family, good for picnic

Tomb is currently not in best of conditions but it appears to have once been majestic beauty. Wall chalking can be seen on each side of the walls. Government must take responsibility for its maintenance and restoration.

A place where I use to study since my childhood. This tomb is there and has hosted many generations.

Tomb of asif khan is in bad shape lot of restoration should be done to the tomb before it turns into ruins.

The Tomb of Asif Khan is a magnificent edifice crowned by a high bulbous dome. Asif Khan’s tomb is situated in Shahdara Bagh, adjacent to Akbari Sarai, in the city of Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. Like that of other noble persons in the Mughal courts, Asif Khan’s tomb is also octagonal in shape and embellished using attractive designs and colours. Octagonal shaped tombs were only used for Mughal nobles and never for Mughal emperors. Asif Khan was the title given to the Mughal statesman Mirza Abdul Hassan Jah, who was also known as Asif Jah. He was the brother the of Empress Noor Jahan, father of Arjumand Bano Begum who later became the consort of Shah Jahan under the name of Mumtaz Mahal, and he was also brother-in-law to the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Asif Khan was elevated as Khan e Khana, commander in chief, and became governor of Lahore a year later. Asif Khan died in a battle against the forces of rebel Raja Jagat Singh in 1641 and his tomb was commissioned to be built by emperor Shah Jahan. It cost 300,000 rupees and four years from 1641 to 1645 to complete the construction of this marvellous erection. The tomb is only separated by Akbari Sarai from Jahangir’s tomb which makes an axis.
