Description
Completed in the c. 1090s CE, beside his gravestone there are two other gravestones which belong to Malik-Shah I and his wife, Tarkan Khatun, who may have had a hand in Nizam's murder.
Besides the many changes in the garden and structure of tomb, the three valuable gravestones have also been changed. The current simple gravestones date from the Safavid era. No names are mentioned on them, perhaps by intention, and there are some sentences from the Quran on them. The marble gravestone of Nizam al-Mulk is 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) long by 35 centimetres (14 in) wide and 38 centimetres (15 in) high.[1]
