 Introduction:
The Tomb of Jahangir is a 17th-century mausoleum built for the Mughal Emperor Jahangir. The
mausoleum dates from 1637, and is located in Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, along
the banks of the Ravi River. The site is famous for its interiors that are extensively embellished
with frescoes and marble, and its exterior that is richly decorated with pietra dura. The tomb,
along with the adjacent Akbari Sarai and the Tomb of Asif Khan, are part of an ensemble
currently on the tentative list for UNESCO World Heritage status.
The emperor died in the foothills of Kashmir near the town of Rajauri on 28 October 1627. A
funeral procession transferred his body from Kashmir and arrived in Lahore on Friday, 12
November 1627.
At the center of the mausoleum is an octagonal tomb chamber about 8 meters in diameter. It is
connected to the outside of the tomb by four hallways facing the four cardinal directions. The
cenotaph at the center is carved from a single slab of white marble and decorated with pietra
dura inlays of the 99 attributes of God. At its foot is an inscription in Persian recording that
"This is the illuminated grave of His Majesty, the Asylum of Pardon, Nooruddin Muhammad
Jahangir Padshah 1537 AH”.
Construction of the mausoleum lasted 10 years, from 1627 to 37, and was probably funded by
the imperial treasury (though there is some evidence that Jahangir's wife, Nur Jahan, may have
financed the construction).  It occupies a vast quadrangle measuring 600 gaz (approximately
500 meters) to a side and is subdivided into four chahar baghs (four-part gardens). A fountain
occupies the center of each of the chahar baghs and the avenues in between, creating a ring of
8 fountains around the central tomb. Water for the fountains was supplied by wells outside of
the garden and raised into channels atop of the walls using water wheels that are no longer
extant. From there, the water flowed through terra cotta pipes and into the fountains,
whereupon the water cascaded into shallow channels running throughout the garden.
The mausoleum itself is square in plan and exactly 100 gaz to a side. Except for the four corner
minarets the layout is entirely horizontal with a flat roof covering the whole of the structure. 
Red sand stone and marble is extensively used with its facade adorned in fine-looking marble
motifs and floral patterns.
The interior is embellished with floral frescos, delicate inlay work, pietra dura and brilliant
marble intarsia of various colours.

 Business Idea:
The business idea around the tomb would be a tourist guide and with that selling of miniature
art and small tomb of Jahangir model of custom lines written on it what customer wants to be
written. 500 Rs for model and 200 for writing on it. While showing the people real view of tomb
of Jahangir to the tourist in 100Rs per person and 400 for group of 5 and 150 for couples.
Beside this a camera for taking pictures and selling the pics in 100 for each. For the stuff i would
carry a bag to put the paintings in it as well as a small shop outside the tomb for more paintings
and miniature model of tomb of Jahangir.
By being a tourist guide it would be great to tell people about the history and architectural
importance of tomb of Jahangir, and when they will buy miniature arts and gifts of model it
would help them remember the place.
  Philosophy:
The establishment of Jahangir's tomb at Shahdara profoundly affected the character of the
suburb. During Shah Jahan's time the suburb was transformed into a monument to the
Mughal's imperial rule. His son, the new Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, ordered that a
"mausoleum befitting an Emperor" should be built in his father's honour to inter his remains.
The philosophy behind the tomb of Jahangir was his son shah jahan made it for the honour of
his father and respect to show his love and it was made so that everyone should remember the
tomb of Jahangir.
It’s also found in history that the tomb may have been the result of Nur Jahan's vision. Taking
inspiration from her father's burial place, she is said to have designed the mausoleum in 1627.

 Psychology:
The Dilkusha Garden in which he was buried was a "favourite spot" of Jahangir and his wife Nur
Jahan, when they lived in Lahore. Whereas previously the area has been used as a place of
relaxation. And the garden is used today also and seen as a place for relaxation people visit
here to relax and get fresh air here and enjoy plat cricket and other games and also visit for
picnic.

 Conclusion:
The tomb has state of the art architecture and is the finest ornament of historical Lahore also
considered the most magnificent Mughal edifice after the Taj Mahal at Agra. Today, the tomb
of Jahangir holds special significance for Pakistanis as it is the only Mughal tomb located in
present-day Pakistan. Its image appears on the 1,000 rupee banknote and it remains one of
Lahore's most popular attractions. The tomb was featured on the 1000 Rupee note until 2005.
Pakistan issued a postage stamp in 1954 to commemorate Emperor Jahangir mausoleum. It is
said that Pakistani 2 million was used for the construction of the tomb.
