Tomb of Shah Nawaz Khan

The Tomb of Shah Nawaz Khan in Burhanpur is a Mughal monument of national importance, nicknamed the Black Taj Mahal for the black stone used to build it. The nobleman Abdul Rahim Khan-i-Khanan raised it in memory of his son, who died around 1618–20, during his nine years in Burhanpur as Mughal subahdar of the Deccan; the scholars Michell and Zebrowski date it to 1619. It is one of several works he left in the city.

The tomb is a square building of two storeys with six-sided minarets at its four corners, set within a garden. Its design mixes regional Deccani and Gujarati features with elements of the Imperial Delhi Sultanate style.
