Story of Akbar and his empire is fascinating. At the age of 13, empire was thrust upon him when Humayun died from a fall at Purana Qila.
Under the tutelage of foster mothers and relatives, Akbar took time to consolidate. Meanwhile there were rivalries and fights among those near to the throne. One such rivalry was amongst foster relatives, particularly among foster mother families. Adham Khan, son of foster mother Maham Anga, in a fit of jealousy, killed Atagah Khan, husband of another foster mother and he was buried in Nizamuddin Basti. Akbar, enraged by this act, got Adham Khan killed by getting him thrown from the ramparts of Agra fort. His son, Mirza Kokaltsh grew to be an important General of his time and created a marble tomb for himself in his life time, again in the vicinity of Nizamuddin tomb.
Today this tomb, a beautiful marble structure, stands in the vicinity of Mirza Ghalib tomb and is a fine example of Mughal architecture. It consists of 64 pillars structure. There are many cenotaphs in the monument, the most important being that of Mirza Aziz Kokaltash.
This monument, after restoration by Aga Khan Trust is visually appealing and beautiful. When visiting Nizamuddin Tomb, one can look at this fine structure.
