Chini Ka Rauza

Agra district, India

Chini ka Rauza is a funerary monument, rauza in Agra, India, containing the tomb of Afzal Khan Shirazi, a scholar and poet who was the Grand Vizier of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The tomb was built in 1635. The Chini Ka Rauza is situated just 1 kilometre north of Itmad-Ud-Daulah's Tomb, on the eastern (left) bank of Yamuna river in Agra, and 2 kilometres away from the Taj Mahal. The outer walls of the monument is decorated with glazed tile and hence the name Chini ka Rauza (the word chini coming from "China" and rauza from the Persian for "tomb").
