TO.iplBS. The tombs of Muhammadans have usually been of earth, or unbaked brick, but every material is employed, and names even are written on the tombs. .The tombstone of a man is dis tinguished by a raised part in the centre, and that of a woman by a depression. The prevalent form in India of Muhammadan tombs of the wealthy, is a dark or black tombstone with verses of the Koran engraved on it, and covered by a cupola. Some of these are very magnificent. Those of the Adal Shahi dynasty at Bijaptu. and Gogi have attracted much attention, as also have those of the Bahmani dynasty at Kulburga, the Kutub Shahi dynasty at Golconda, and the Nizam Simhi at Ahmaduaggur. The cupolas at Roza, where Aurangzeb is buried, have not any display, and that of Aurangzeb is the least ostentatious. His daughter's tomb at Aurang abad is magnificent, and many of the tombs at Dehli and Agra are great structures. That of Mumtaz Begun), known as the Taj Mahal, is parti cularly remarkable. The reformers amongst the Muliammadans consider that unbaked brick or earth should alone be used. In Surat, near the mosque of Mirza Shami in Mulana Chakla, is a tomb constructed in the style of the 16th or be ginnino. of the 17th century. Its windows of
perfortited stone are of rare beauty. In Sind, the more remarkable tombs are those of Nirza Baki Tur Khan, of Mil za had Beg Tur Khan, of Dewan Soof Khan all on the Muklee range of hills near Tatta ; and' that of Nawab Amir Khan at Tatta, and that of Gliolam Shah Kullora at Hyderabad, are all remarkable. Gholam Shah's tomb was commenced by himself in 1765 and completed in 1769. It is situated in the northern end of the upper plateau on which the city of Hyderabad now stands. It is built of burnt brick, with glazed tiles in the inside and out. The glazed tiles were made at Nussurpur, 16 miles N.E. of Hyderabad, once a town of great importance when the river Indus ran at its base. The tomb of Gholam Shah is surrounded by a wall 12 feet high, and is now very much dilapidated. The thirteen tombs, the burial -places of thirteen emperors of the Moghul dynasty of China, are famed in China. See Architecture ; Sculptures.
