Tomb of Adham Khan

16th-century tomb of a general of Emperor Akbar

Adham Khan's Tomb is the 16th-century tomb of Adham Khan, a general of the Mughal Emperor Akbar. He was the younger son of Maham Anga, Akbar's wet nurse thus also his foster brother. Out of jealousy and court intrigue, in May 1562 Adham Khan murdered Akbar's favourite general Ataga Khan, in the courtyard of the Diwan-e-Aam, in Agra Fort. An enraged Akbar immediately ordered Adham's execution by defenestration from the ramparts of the Agra Fort.
