The tomb of Bahadur Khan was built with fair face brickwork lies in the Mughalpura area. Khan-e-Jahan Bahadur Zafar Jhan Kokaltash was a high-ranking officer during the reign of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamigir. He served as subedar (governor) of the Panjab from April 11th, 1691 AD, but was dismissed from office in 1693 AD. He died four years later on November 23, 1697, AD, and was presumably interred here shortly thereafter. His octagonal tomb is composed primarily of cut brickwork without any use of red sandstone, in contrast to many other buildings of that period. The current appearance of the tomb is much denuded: the numerous holes in the facade and dome attest to marble work that was stripped away as late as the 19th century. Despite this, traces of the tomb’s original elegance are still evidenced in the beautifully carved stucco muqarnas (stalactite squinches) that embellish the tops of the outer alcoves.
