Tomb of Sher Afghan
Asansol
About this place
Numerous tales surround Sher Afghan Khan, his rise to power and eventual demise. Sher Afghan Khan who was the tuyuldar of Bardhaman during Mughal Emperor Jahangir's rule was accused of having conspired with Afghans against the king. He was eventually killed in this confrontation and his wife, Mehrunissa, famously known as Nur Jahan, who was believed to have been extremely beautiful eventually married the King himself. His tomb is one of the most popular sites in Bardhaman. The tomb of Qutbuddin is adjacent to that of Sher Afghans.
