Base of the Nauria dome has arched openings at cordinal points.the tomb is faced with hands of glazed title created with tile mosaic.
The Tomb of Bahawal Haleem
The tomb of Baha’al-Halim stands in the northwest corner of Uch Sharif on a low hillside, the site of an old fort, amid the ruins of several other architecturally significant tombs, among them the tombs of Ustad Nuria and Bibi Jawindi. No surviving inscriptions record the exact date of construction or its sponsor, but it is commonly ascribed to Jahaniyan Jahangasht (1307-1383), a pupil of Baha’al-Halim and a Sufi saint in his own right. The tombs stand in a state of partial ruin, as major flooding in 1817 caused the collapse of the west side of the tomb and damaged those nearby as well. The tomb is built of fired bricks on an octagonal base with turrets at each corner of the octagon. A single dome was raised above on a smaller octagonal drum with arched windows.
Even though the tomb has partially collapsed, its symmetrical design makes it straightforward to visualize its original layout. The layout of the tomb is quite similar to that of the mausoleum of Shah Rukn-e Alam in Multan, which was built between 1320 and 1324. Although this design appears common today, the tomb of Rukn-e-Alam and its successors at Uch Sharif were among the first tombs with an octagonal base built on the subcontinent.
Head Punjnand
Head Panjnad (Panjnad Barrage) (Urdu: پنجند) (panj = five, nadi = river) is a river head in Punjab, Pakistan. Panjnad River is formed by the successive confluence of the five rivers of Punjab, namely Jhelum, Chenab, Ravi, Beas and Sutlej. Jhelum and Ravi join Chenab, Beas joins Sutlej, and then Sutlej and Chenab join to form Panjnad near Uch Sharif. The combined stream runs southwest for approximately 45 miles and joins Indus River at Mithankot. The Indus continues into the Arabian Sea. A dam on Panjnad has been erected; it provides irrigation channels for Punjab and Sind provinces south of the Sutlej and east of the Indus rivers.
