Tomb of Khawaja Awais Kagha

The Tomb of Khawaja Awais Khagga is a prominent Sufi mausoleum of Multan[1] located in Dera Basti cemetery, 1.6 kilometers southwest of Multan's historical center in Pakistan.

[2] The tomb's architecture, echoing the 10th-century Ismail Samani Mausoleum in Bukhara, consists of a square base with corner turrets and a dome.

[2] The building's main axis is atypical, facing south, while Islamic tradition usually favors east-facing entrances.

[2] This orientation is suggestive of Suhrawardi Sufi tombs in Multan, representing a departure from Islamic norms in favor of multifaith traditions.

[2] However, the tomb maintains orthodoxy through its southwest-aligned qibla, allowing prayers directed towards Mecca.
