Description
Tomb of Ali Mardan Khan (Governor of Qandahar under Shah Safi of Iran) is a massive brick building, which is octagonal in plan with a high dome and kiosks on regular points. It stands on an eight sided podium, each side measuring 17.5 m. It was originally built with all the architectural grace typical of that time, but was vandalized by the Sikhs, who deprived the building of all its stone facing and other decorations, leaving only traces.
