Shah Rukn e alam is a famous sufi saint of Multan who spread Islam in the south Asian population by his character and humbleness. He was the grand-son of Bahauddin Zakaria who himself was a saint. The tomb was built between 1320 and 1324 CE in the pre-Mughal architectural style. The tomb is said to have built by Ghias-ud-Din Tughlak (r.1320-1325 AD) during his governorship of Depalpur. The tomb is a famous architectural master-piece. And an important part of Multan's identity.
