Khanjahan’s Mausoleum is one of the most impressing examples of his architectural style. The elegant single domed mausoleum is situated in Ranvijoypur village. The round corner turrets are divided by five bands moldings while the battlements and the cornices are gently curved. The corner turrets had been ended on the cornices. Stone brackets were used inside the mausoleum in order to support the sequences of the dome. The interior of the tomb is square-shaped. An altar in the center is built by Black stones and has three stages. An ancient Buddhist image was discovered while digging a nearby pond - Thakur Dighi – which proved the existence of an old civilization around the area. The archaeological wonder of Khalifatabad welcomes people from all over the world.
