In Gwalior there is mausoleum built for him in the typical Mughal architecture. 
Here the interesting aspect are hexagonal pillars and screens using pierced stone technique. The marvelous stone works coupled with an excellent architecture, the tomb looks gorgeous.

interesting building
It is amazing.
The pierced stone parts are extraordinary. Amazing details. It must have been so much work and required a certain skill as well.

The lattice work in stone is so beautiful !
Very intricate work - especially the lattice windows.

A grand, impressive mausoleum! Fascinating architecture!
So much work. Construction workers in present times do not have pride in their work and it shows. These are beautiful.
Lovely shots. I was mesmerized by the details in stonework when I was in India. More pictures from my trip this wee :)
