Ancient Gumbad, Hisar

Ancient Gumbad is, in fact, a tomb of a spiritual teacher, Baba Pannir Badshah who lived in the 14th century A.D. One of his disciples, Sher Bahol, also known as Dana (sagacious) Sher was also a reputed saint. He predicted that Ghayas-ud-din Tughlak would ascend the throne of Delhi. The prophecy came true.

The upper half is made of lakhauri bricks. The roof of the tomb is ringed by a low dome which sits on an octagonal drum. The memorial has been declared as a protected monument by the Government of Haryana.
