Muhammad Maruf Khan Kehrani founded Mojgarh in the year 1743. His square tomb, adorned with glazed tiles and topped by a single dome, stands approximately 400 yards south of the fort. The construction of this tomb was completed by Maruf Khan's son, Jan Muhammad Khan, and his successor, Umar Khan, in 1757.
Among the various iron plaques adorning its main door, one bears the names of Jan Muhammad Khan and Muhammad Maruf Khan, along with the gate's construction date in Persian (A.D. 1797) and the name of the builder, Sri Ram, an ironsmith. Mojgarh was a destination visited by notable individuals such as Elphinstone and Masson.
On our way back to Lahore, pressed for time, we captured pictures of the tomb from our car.
