Khusro Bagh is a beautiful walled garden located in the heart of the city just a stone's throw away from the railway station. It is surrounded by high walls on all four sides, with the southern gate being the grandest of all. It is about 60 feet high and resembles the main gateway of the Allahabad Fort. It has at its centre the tomb of Khusro, the eldest son of Jahangir and hence it is famous as Khusro Bagh.
This lofty and handsome gate , situated to the north of the Khuldabad Sarai,bears an Persian inscription ascribing its construction to Jahangir and the architect is mentioned as Aqa Reza. This garden is a typical Mughal garden enclosure, entered through a 18 m high archway and houses the large, handsome tomb of Khusro , his mother , sister and a tomb famous as Tambolan Bibi's tomb. The tombs are inside the large garden and hence obviously surrounded by lush green patches. The tombs itself are built from red sandstone, which is ornately carved and tastefully decorated with marble carvings.
