The Mughal emperor Jahangir is buried in a mausoleum dating from 1637 in Shahdara Bagh, along the western bank of the Ravi River, in Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. 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.
