Why to visit Khusro Bagh

One of the most popular tourist places in Uttar Pradesh is the garden, which is a historical location. The exquisite carvings on the tombs and the use of red sandstone are simply breathtaking. In addition, the air has a serene calmness that is valuable.

Whether for aesthetic or religious reasons, the Mughals knew how to create stunning gardens. The Khusro Bagh in Prayraj (Allahabad), Uttar Pradesh, is proof of their sophisticated artistic sensibilities. 

It contains the graves of Princess Sultan Nithar Begum, Shah Begum (the daughter of Jahangir), Jahangir's first wife, and Khusro Mirza, the eldest son of Jahangir. During the 17th century, all three of them were interred in this mausoleum complex. 

Architecture of the Khusro Bagh —

• Shah Begum's mausoleum is a three-tiered building with a sizable Chhatri but no main mound. Mir Abdulla Mushkin Qalam, a renowned calligraphy under Jahangir, carved the Arabic inscription on the tomb.

• The grave of Khusro's sister Nuthar Begum lies right next to Shah Begum's. The interiors of this one are the most beautifully designed and embellished of the three, leaving you in amazement. It is constructed on a raised platform, and the rooms' ceilings are exquisitely decorated with stars in overlapping rings. The central room's walls are beautifully painted with flowery patterns that feature flowers, plants, and cypresses. The princess gave the go-ahead for the tomb's construction, but she was interred somewhere else.

• Khusro's tomb is the last of the three. Although not as intricate as Nuthar Begum's, it is nonetheless a masterpiece. In the middle of the garden stands a fourth tomb known as the Mausoleum of Tombolan.

• Large and highly majestic, the park's entrance features Persian inscriptions. The park served as the focal point for the sepoys during the uprising in 1987, led by Maulavi Liyakat Ali. As a result, it participated in India's war for independence.
