Ahukhana, Burhanpur

‪These ruins were the venue for Mumtaz Mahal ‘s ghusl and kafan.‬
‪According to locals her body was kept here for 40 days.‬
They celebrate her urs here every year
‪No upkeep or care‬. In fact area outside is encroachment by cotton farmers.

‪This forlorn, forgotten, forsaken baradari is in Burhanpur ‘s ahookhana where Mumtaz Mahal body was kept for 6 months before shifting her to Agra for burial in Taj Mahal.
It’s in the middle of nowhere with horrible roads, surrounded by fields and wilderness.
