Located in Nakodar (Amardas Colony) in
Jalandhar district of Punjab, this funerary complex comprises two Mughal-period
tombs traditionally known as the tombs of Ustad and Shagird (Teacher and
Disciple). The tomb of Muhammad Momin al-Husayni dates to 1021 AH (1612–13 CE),
while the tomb of his disciple Haji Jamal was constructed in 1057 AH (1656–57
CE). Distinguished by octagonal and square plans respectively, both tombs
display refined glazed-tile decoration and Quranic inscriptions. The monuments
stand opposite each other within the remains of a former garden setting and are
under the protection of Archaeological Survey of India (Chandigarh Circle).
