A picturesque tomb in a semi-urban neighborhood - The tomb of Khwaja Khizr (Khijar Makbara) is one of the key attractions in the city of Sonipat, Haryana, India. It has been built over the mortal remains of a local saint who attained prominence during the reign of Ibrahim Lodhi in the region. The tomb houses inside the graves of Khwaja Khizr and there also are two small graves which are believed to be the graves of two cats who were close to the saint. The architecture is crisp, beautiful and picturesque, has artfully crafted doors and even the original calligraphy is quite clearly readable.
