TOMB OF MAHMUD KHAJI & ASHRAFI MAHAL
Mahmud Khaji died in
1475 and it seems that he converted the building in question into
his tomb by himself while still alive. However, the construction
seems to have been done in a hurry and it collapsed immediately
after its completion. It was repaired under the rule of the 3rd
Mugarid emperor Akbar, according to an inscription. In recent
times, it was excavated by John Marshall and the construction
came into full view. The entire building and the tomb stone of
the sultan are situated in the middle of three tombs at the
centre of the mausoleum. It is assumed to have been built using
plenty of white, black and yellow marble throughout. Judging from
the basements of some structure, it is assumed to have been a
majestic building. Standing on the base of the remains, one can
see that the tomb of this sultan is built in line with the Jama
Masjid and Hoshang Shah's tomb.From this, one can understand the
power of the King of that time, who ordered this building
constructed. (Matsuo Ara)
