‘The tomb of Auranzebe. (He desired in his will that not more than 8 rupees was to be expended on it’).
Water-colour; 12 by 17.2 cm.
Note: The simple grave of Emperor Aurangzeb, ruled 1658-1707, a stone slab on a wooden platform, is within the courtyard of the shrine of Shaikh Burham ud-Din Gharib, d.1331, disciple of Nizam ud-Din Auliya of Delhi, at Rauza or Khuldabad, near Aurangabad. A cotton sheet, as here, normally covers it. Lord Curzon and the Nizam subsequently had a marble railing erected around the grave.
