Adham Khan’s tomb was built along the ramparts of the 12th century Qila Rai Pithora or Lal Kot, following his execution for the murder of Ataga Khan, one of Akbar’s generals in 1562. The emperor had Adham Khan thrown off the walls of the Agra Fort twice for this betrayal. The mausoleum also contained the tomb of his mother Maham Anga (Akbar’s wet nurse) who died soon after in despair.
