I had visited the Diwanji Begum Mosque in Tajganj Agra but didn’t know that the cenotaph behind it was the empty tomb of Mumtaz Mahal’s parents: Asaf Khan and wife.
She was called Diwanjee Begum as husband was Shah Jahan ‘s dewan.
The graves must be beneath the ground but @sarthak telks me that the cenotaph were looted
“The cenotaphs were removed and people used them as part of their domestic spaces. They were recovered and one’s been “established” (stapith) at the local mandir and the other covers a dead well, it was upturned and used for washing clothes (like at dhobhi ghats) but is now painted and covered in chadars “
This is of the cenotaphs covering up a well
