Travel Tips Of Qutubuddin Tomb
Vadodara, Gujarat, India
The Qutubuddin Tomb, popularly known as Hazira Maqbara, is one of the most significant and well-preserved Mughal-era monuments in Vadodara, dating back to the late 16th century. It was built in 1586 as a mausoleum for Qutb-ud-din Muhammad Khan, who was the tutor to Prince Salim (who later became Emp eror Jahangir) and the uncle of Mirza Aziz Koka, a prominent Mughal governor. The tomb also houses the remains of his son, Naurang Khan, who held high administrative offices in Gujarat under the reign of Emperor Akbar. Unlike the Indo-Saracenic structures that dominate the city's landscape, this monument is a rare example of pure Mughal architecture in the region, featuring a serene garden setting that offers a quiet escape from the city. The site is maintained by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and serves as a testament to the brief but influential period of direct Mughal rule in the Baroda region before the rise of the Gaekwad power.

Tourism Tips

Health and Safety: The tomb is a quiet site, but it is always better to visit with a companion or in a small group. Ensure you stay within the designated paths and avoid climbing on the fragile stone carvings. Since the monument is in a slightly industrial area, it is best to visit during broad daylight and return to the main city center before it gets too dark.

Respectful Conduct: As this is a mausoleum, maintain a level of quiet and decorum while inside the tomb chamber. If you see people offering prayers, be respectful and avoid using flash photography near them. It is also customary to remove your shoes before entering the inner sanctum of the tomb, so wear footwear that is easy to take off and put back on.

Packing for History Buffs: Bring a small notebook and a pen to jot down the historical facts from the information plaques. A small bottle of water is essential as there are limited shops in the immediate vicinity of the monument. Carrying a map or having a reliable GPS app on your phone will help you navigate the residential lanes of Danteshwar to find the site easily.
