Bahauddin Maqbara, Junagadh

This is the Bahauddin Maqbara (mausoleum) from the Mahabat Maqbara Complex in the town of Junagadh in the state of Gujrat, India. The Nawabs of the Babi Dynasty ruled the erstwhile Junagadh state.

The complex contains two mausoleums.The main is the Mahabat Maqbara which houses the grave of Nawab Mahabat Khan II and the Bahauddin Maqbara containing the grave of his Vizier Sheikh Bahauddin Hussain Bhar. The tombs were built between 1878 to 1896.They are exquisite buildings known for the amalgamation of Indo-Islamic styles with considerable European (Gothic) influence.

The main tomb was very near a boundary wall and difficult to photograph.However,Sanjay did manage a shot and I will share it next.
