Sunset at Mausoleum - Shah Rukn-e-Alam

Mausoleum of Shah Rukn-e-Alam situated in Multan, the city of Saints. From whichever side the city is approached, the most prominent thing that can be seen from miles all around is a huge dome. The tomb is located on the southwest side of the Fort premises. the mausoleum is also of considerable archaeological value as its dome is reputed to be the second largest in the world. The mausoleum is built entirely of red brick, bounded with beams of shisham wood, which have now turned black after so many centuries. The whole of the exterior is elaborately ornamented with glazed tile panels, string-courses and battlements. Colors used are dark blue, azure, and white, contrasted with the deep red of the finely polished bricks.
