Khusro Bagh
ख़ुसरो बाग़
Three Mughal tombs in a walled garden, holding Prince Khusrau, the eldest son of Jahangir, and his mother and sister. The sandstone carving is exquisite.
Khusro Bagh is a four-part Mughal garden, the char bagh, surrounded by high walls and grand gateways. Its three sandstone tombs belong to Prince Khusrau, son of Emperor Jahangir, who was imprisoned after a rebellion and killed in 1622 by his younger brother Shah Jahan; to his mother, Shah Begum; and to his sister, Nisar Begum. The painted ceiling of Nisar Begum's tomb and the Persian-style decoration of Khusrau's tomb are especially fine. The garden has a guava orchard and a peaceful setting. Entry is free, though the tomb interiors are sometimes locked. It is near Allahabad railway station.
