Pir Baharam

Two men have been lying in eternal rest next to each other in similar graves for over four centuries, and it is hard to believe that they died fighting each other in a deadly ambush. One of these men is the first husband of Mehr-un-Nissa, who later married the Mughal emperor Jahangir. History remembers her as Nur Jahan and she took control over the mighty Mughal Empire. Today, she lies in eternal rest next to her more famed second husband in far away Lahore, while her first husband lies in rest just 100km from Kolkata, in the town of Bardhaman (also Burdwan).
