Description

Sher Shah Mausoleum, located in Sasarm in Bihar, is an example of Indo-Pathan architecture. It appears perfectly symmetrical but its base has a slight deviation at the cardinal points. It is built on a large square terrace; the corners support the octagonal pavilions with small kiosks between them. The three-storied mausoleum rises to a height of 45.7 m and was originally planned to be a typical island tomb with no access to the mainland. Built during the 16th century, it reflects the lifestyle of the 16th century Afghans.
