Mahabat Maqbara, Junagadh
This is the Mahabat 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 to take this shot with his phone.In the distance (to the right) you can see the Bahauddin Maqbara from my earlier upload
