Many people frequently ask why Aurangzeb's tomb is in Khuldabad in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra when he was a Mughal emperor who also ruled Delhi and Agra. Why is Aurangzeb's name being brought up right now, after all?

In Khuldabad, Aurangabad, a grave is covered with a plain white sheet that has been turned into soil, and a lovely plant is placed on top of the grave. Aurangzeb, the Mughal emperor who ruled over Delhi and Agra, is the rightful owner of this modest mausoleum.

Most of the Mughal emperors who ruled India had mausoleums constructed in Delhi or Agra. Although not straightforward, these tombs have a regal and rich appearance. Many people frequently ask why Aurangzeb's tomb is in Khuldabad in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra when he was a Mughal emperor who oversaw Delhi and Agra.

Before we continue, can you explain why Aurangzeb is currently receiving so much attention? Some young people in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, posted an image of Aurangzeb as their WhatsApp status. Since then, the climate has warmed.

On Wednesday, Kolhapur workers were gathered at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk by Hindu organisations to protest. The three young people who posted this WhatsApp status have been the subject of an FIR, but the organisations demand that the accusers face harsh punishment. The police used lathi charges to calm things down during a fierce stone-throwing and shop-vandalism incident. There are many police forces on the scene. To keep the peace, police patrol teams are out in force. The DGP himself is monitoring this situation as well.

Why is Aurangzeb buried in Aurangabad?

In the year 1707, Aurangzeb passed away in Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, and was buried in Khuldabad, Aurangabad. Historians claim that Aurangzeb began to gain fame as a result of Aurangabad. He learned about Zainuddin Shirazi during this.

Syed Zainuddin Dawood Shirazi, the founder of the Chishti tradition, had a profound impact on Aurangzeb's thinking, and he came to regard Shirazi as his guru as a result. Shirazi was the reason Aurangzeb selected Khuldabad as his final residence. Shirazi was laid to rest close by. In his will, Aurangzeb specified in great detail how his tomb should be built.

'My grave should be prepared with simplicity."

Before his passing, the ruler of the Indian Sultanate, Aurangzeb, stated in his will that he should be interred close to his Sufi saint, Guru Syed Zainuddin. He had also stated that he wanted his grave to be prepared as simply as possible. It should not have a roof over it and should be covered with vegetable plants.

You will see this exact scene if you ever visit this tomb. The stone near the tomb also contains Aurangzeb's full name, Abdul Muzaffar Muhiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir, as well as his birth and death dates, according to the Hijri calendar.

Khwaja Syed Zainuddin Shirazi was a Sufi saint, and Aurangzeb revered him as his guru or pir. He made it clear to his sons that he wanted to be buried close to Shirazi's grave. As opposed to other Mughal emperors, Aurangzeb's tomb is very straightforward, as he specified in his will. The earlier emperors' mausoleums were exquisitely designed, but Aurangzeb's mausoleum is only plain with marble grills all around.
