Tombs of Ustad-Shagird, Nakodar

[1][2] In Hindi and Urdu, the word Ustad refers to teacher, and Shagird means student or disciple.

[1] The Tomb of Ustad is of Muhammad Mumin Hussaini, a musician and nobleman from the time of Jahangir, as identified by an inscription on the tomb dating it to 1612–13 CE.

[3][1] The Tomb of Shagird is of Haji Jamal, the student of Mumin Hussaini, and dates to 1657, during the reign of Shah Jahan.

The similarity of the inscriptions, both in terms of the same chapters and verses of the Quran as well as the style of writing, point to both being done by the same calligrapher.

Beyond the tank is a baradari containing the shrine of Bahadur Khan who died during the reign of Jahangir, and also an old mosque which is now in a dilapidated condition.
