Tomb of Salabat Khan II

The Tomb of Salabat Khan II is also commonly but mistakenly known as Chandbiwi's Mahel, Chand Bibi Palace or similar variations.

By the simple contrivance of a stone terrace built about twelve feet high and 100 yards broad, the tomb seems to rise with considerable dignity from the centre of an octagon.

Though very little of ornament is associated with it the three architectural features which distinguish this monument—namely, the octagon platform, the piers of pointed arches and its gallery entitle it to a place of honour among the Islamic monuments of Ahmadnagar.

The austere but impressive tomb stands on a spacious hilltop terrace, commanding views across the plain to Ahmadnagar 10 kilometres to the west.

Chand Bibi (1550–1599 CE) was an Indian Muslim woman warrior who acted as the Regent of Ahmednagar (1596–99) during her son Murtazi's minority.
