Nawab Bahadur Khan
This imposing mausoleum is situated north of the Amritsar Railway line,
close to the mausoleum of Nusrat Khan, about three miles east of
Lahore, on the Railway iron-bridge. The arches are surmounted by
a lofty dome, which stands in the center of a wide platform of octagonal
form, sixteen yards long on each side. The building is one of the
old edifices of Lahroe, and, when a Cantonment was established at Mian
Mir, it was used by military officers as a theatre. It is now utilized
as store house of the Railway department. The exterior of
the dome was embellished with marble, which was, however, removed by Ranjit
Singh. Two different flights of steps lead to the upper storey,
from which a veryfine view of the surrounding country is obtained.
The edifice has recently been repaired at the cost of Government.
