Tomb of Shah Rustam Ghazi
PunjabTombProtected
After the death of Shah Rustam Ghazi, Princess Zaib-un-Nissa got his tomb constructed in the area of Nawan Kot. Zaib-un-Nissa made the tomb tiled with red bricks and grave-stone built with the Marble. All these valuable stones and bricks were extracted by Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, and, presently, there exists only the shell of the tombs tall premises on a mound. Towards the south, there are two doors, with bolts, on the ground. After descending down five steps, we come across two basements. There are two graves each in both the basements; one has the graves of Rustam Ghazi and his son while the other contains the graves of Ghazis wife and mother. Once, there was a dome on these basements with two separate portions for the graves of males and females, upstairs as well.
