This tomb is Sasaram’s signature monument—an impressive Indo-Islamic mausoleum set dramatically in the middle of an artificial lake, reached by a causeway. The symmetry, sandstone work, and the “water-surrounded” setting make it one of the most photogenic historical monuments in Bihar and a must-visit for architecture lovers.
