About:
Hoshang Shah`s Tomb in Mandu is a major tourist attraction and is believed to be the first marble tomb of India built in the 15th century which depicts Afgan culture in the art and sculpture of ancient India. It is so beautifully constructed that the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan sent his architect to have a glimpse of it before building the Taj Mahal. It has been said that Ustad Hamid had a great association with the team who constructed Taj Mahal.
It is is a perfect piece of work to potray Afgan art and architecture. The monument bears well-balanced dome with convoluted marble work. The uniqueness and the wonderful decoration on the southern doorway portray the lotus and the blue enamel stars.
