Mariam-uz-Zamani's Tomb(Jodha Bai की कब्र) | Agra Heritage Tour | Ep-2 | मरियम उज़-ज़मानी का मक़बरा

Recently, I explored Mariam's Tomb (Mariam ka Maqbara) in Sikandra, Agra which is a Mughal Era Mausoleum. In the Video, I have told each and every important aspect about Tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani in Hindi.

Shah Jahan made Taj Mahal for his beloved wife. So, Shah Jahan's father Jahangir(also known as Salim) made this tomb for his mother known as 'Tomb of Mariam-uz-Zamani'.

Heer Kunwari(Jodha Bai) was born as a Rajput princess. She was the eldest daughter of Amer's king Bharmal(Raja Bihari Mal). In 1562, Jodha Bai married mughal emperor Akbar. After Jahangir(also known as Salim) was born, she was given the title of 'Mariam-uz-Zamani'. Mariam died in 1623 in Agra and this mausoleum was built by her son Jahangir from 1623-1627. This tomb is located only 1 km away from Akbar's tomb.

This place was actually a Baradari when Lodi's ruled in Agra. Later, Mughals built this mausoleum over here. There are 3 graves inside this mausoleum. One is in the basement(Mariam's grave) and other two graves are on upper floors. The ground floor of this tomb consists of 40 chambers which were built by Sikander Lodi.

ARCHITECTURE : This square tomb is located exactly in the centre of the Mughal garden. It is built on a raised platform which has stairs on both northern as well as southern sides. You will also see two corridors from east to west and from north to south which actually divides this beautiful structure into 9 different sections which are further subdivided into other smaller compartments.The largest compartment is at the centre, 4 smaller square ones at the four corners and 4 oblong ones in their middle.

HOW TO REACH : If you are in Agra, Drive on Delhi-Agra National highway towards Sikandra(Akbar's Tomb). After crossing Sikandra, keep left and turn left after 700-800 m and you will reach the tomb.

Rs.25 per person (if bought at the counter)
