Situated right across the river from the architecturally controversial Pather Masjid, this is another uniquely un-Kashmiri Muslim structure. Sultan Zain-Ul-Abidin was hailed Baadshah by the people who loved him for providing one of the most stable of Kashmiri reigns. The name of the place makes people think this is his tomb, but it is in truth the final resting place of his mother. It is a domed brick structure in Shahmiri style. Surrounding the tomb is a local graveyard. Close the the graveyard is the city’s oldest wooden bridge. If you want to view the inside of the tomb the caretaker may be able to let you in. Ask for him at the nearby shops.
