     Nur Jahan with the  name of Mehr un Nisa, life partner of Jahangir, passed on in Lahore on December 18, 1645. After an unassuming dedication administration she was canvassed in an entombment place which she planned for herself The burial chamber lay on square stage estimates 134 feet on each side and somewhat more than 19 feet high. There are four octagonal pinnacles at the corner to approach the front façade. 

     The arrangement depends on fourfold balance. There are external chambers on the outside while the burial place is set apart in the inward center chamber. The grave of the sovereign and her girl Ladli Bagum is situated in the underground chamber.

Minute framing was executed in mind boggling examples and moldings are honeycomb formed in a few rooms. The inward floor is covered with marble and the external stage with sandrock ,in similar style and size as found in the burial chambers of Jahangir and Asif Khan.
