The 17th-century tomb of Abd-ur-Rahim, nicknamed Sheikh Chilli, a Sufi mystic who served as the spiritual preceptor of Prince Dara Shikoh — eldest son of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and the most intellectually eclectic of the imperial princes. The complex includes a mosque, an octagonal tomb chamber with a carved marble cenotaph, and a small Archaeological Survey of India museum housing finds from the surrounding region.
The architecture is an unexpectedly refined piece of Mughal craftsmanship in an unlikely setting. The marble inlay work and carved jali (lattice) screens recall Agra in miniature — the quality of detail repays close attention. For visitors saturated with Hindu pilgrimage sites, the tomb offers a shift of register: quieter, more contemplative, and less crowded than the main tanks. The ASI museum attached to the complex is modest but worth a look for its coins and sculptures from the Kurukshetra excavations.
