Mughal Governor II, Thatta


This tomb is similar to the earlier tomb of Unknown Governor I, only mihrab (prayer niche) wall is extant today, with a high plinth and platform indicating the extent of the enclosure. In this case too a tall lancet arch defines the mihrab and rises above three sets of arched panels flanking it on either side. The entire super structure is built with brick masonry, while the plinth is constructed with equal sized stone masonry pieces.
