Name of monument: Tomb of Jam Nizam ud Din
Location: Makli Hills
Date of Construction: 16th century
Material and Method of Construction: Jangshahi Stone.
Jám Nizámuddín, also known as Jam Nizam al-Din or Jám Nindó, was the Rajput Sultan of Sindh between 1461 and 1508 AD. He was the most famous ruler of the Samma dynasty, which ruled Sindh, parts of Punjab and Baluchistan. His capital was Thatta, Sindh. The Samma dynasty reached the height of its power during the reign of Nizamuddin, who is still recalled as a hero, and whose rule is considered the golden age of Sindh.
The tomb of Jam Nizamuddin is a stone structure with the finest ornamental carving, akin to fifteenth-century Gujrat style. Its decoration consists of bands of stone carved in relief running around the walls and representing half and full lotuses, arched panels set with sunflower inspired from Maru Gujrara architecture of Gujrat and Rajasthan. A band of excellent interlaced Arabic inscription in Thuluth a verse from the Quran, purely Muslim, seen with a neighboring band of carved geese, entirely Hindu, constitutes a strange combination of contrasting features. The Hindu-style base, about 19’ in length with carved bands in various designs, has recessed door-like panels. The miniature shikara or temple spires seen at both corners are decorated with the most intricate, detailed, and beautiful carvings. The mihrab inside is also delicately carved and has very finely cut bands of Arabic inscriptions. However, the stonework of this building represents an excellent specimen of workmanship. The interior of the tomb is also demonstrated delicate work of relief carving in rosettes, arches, Arabic calligraphy and pillarets of oriole window.
