Hazrat Muhammad Ghaus Gwaliyari (R.A), One of the renowned Sufi Saint of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, India. It was a mesmerizing experience visiting the Dargah of Hazrat Muhammad Ghaus Gwaliyari (R.A), Very refreshing and peaceful experience.

Located near Gwalior station. Very old monument. This site was under ASI so the entire campus very much clean. Here we see very good landscaping on front of the monument. Entire landscape devided into four part , concept was Charbagh from Mughal garden. Entry fee 25/-.

Beautiful place with a huge park to walk around. The place has spirituality in it, the busy market takes you back in the time, the place also does not charge an entry fee and is nicely maintained.

Tomb of Muhammad Ghaus The largest tomb in the park belongs to Muhammad Ghaus. Born in 1500 AD, Muhammad Ghaus was a Sufi saint and musician who assisted Barbur with his acquisition of Gwalior Fort in 1526. The tomb is square with a slightly squat central dome which was once decorated with blue tiles, now sadly missing. The walls of the tomb are nearly 2m thick, supporting hexagonal corner towers crowned by smaller domes. The highlight of this tomb from an architectural perspective are the carved stone lattices (jaalis) , which are on the outer wall of a lofty verandah that surrounds the inner chamber. Mohammed Ghaus was the teacher (Guru) of Tansen. Tomb of Tansen is nearby to the tomb of his guru.

Visited this tomb back in January before the lockdown. This tomb was constructed for Mohammad Ghaus, the Sufi saint and advisor to the Mughal Emperor Akbar, music teacher to Tansen, whose tomb is also in this tomb complex. The building walls are beautifully crafted of fine latticework, while the building is a fine example of Mughal architecture. One of the best things to see in Gwalior.

Tomb of Mohammad Ghaus, Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, India Muhammad Ghaus (or Ghawth) was a 16th c Sufi saint and teacher of the Mughal emperor Humayun as well as Tansen, the famous musician in Akbar’s court. The saint’s large tomb, built in the second half of the 16th c during Akbar’s rule, is the main structure in the garden complex located about a kilometer away from Gwalior Fort’s main eastern approach, and is surrounded by graves and smaller pavilion tombs, including that of Tansen. The large central dome of the saint’s tomb tops the actual enclosed and walled large single room that houses the tomb, and the surrounding structure is more like a verandah with jaalis (perforated stone screens), which gives the structure a larger “enclosed” appearance than it actually has. The central dome with four small chattris (domed pavilions) resting on a prominent rectangular base has a shape much like many domes found in central India, for example similar to the domes of Hoshang Shah’s tomb in Mandu and the Mandu Jami Masjid.
