Abstract
Presently an attempt has been made to study the medieval mosque at Badaun with the help of archaeological tools. Rauza of Jajhhar Khan is the tomb building of Samsuddin Elayash Sheikh Buddhan Shah who was popular as Jajhhar Khan. He belongs to the family of Abdur Rahim Khan-i- khana and came from Persia. His father came to Badaun and settled here. His tomb building is situated in the locality known as Kabulpura. As per the epigraphical source, the Tomb Building was built sometime in 1550. The Tomb building is composed of a single chamber with arched entrances at the cardinal points. The tomb building is surmounted by a hemisphere dome based on low rise octagonal dome. It has been built on square plan. Squinch arches have been used in the both stages of the phase of transition. The building is existed on the high rise platform. Now the tomb building is in dilapidated condition and desperately needs repair.
