This crypt would have contained the third and the real set of graves. The
custom of providing cenotaphs or replicas had been followed by the Turks and
the Mughals alike as we meet with this practice at the tomb of Iltutmish at
Delhi and at the tombs of Saqid Khan and Akbar at Agra. The tomb of Akbar
has three tombstones, one on the grave and two as cenotaphs. The tomb of
Itmad-ud-Dauhlah and Chini-ka-Rauza too had three tombstones each. The
lowest of the former was contained in a crypt which was originally
accessible from the riverside and has now been completely blocked up. These
examples indicate that the Mughals liked to provide three tombstones in a
mausoleum. ![]() |
