Khusro Bagh is a large walled garden and burial complex located in muhalla Khuldabad, close to the Prayagraj Junction railway station, in Prayagraj, India. It is roughly 6 km from the Akbar fort built-in (r. 1556–1605). It is situated over forty acres and shaped like a quadrangle.

It is listed as an Indian Site of National Importance.[1] It includes the 4 tombs:

  • Shah Begum (born Manbhawati Bai) (d. 1604), Jahangir's wife, and the daughter of Raja Bhagwant Das and Khusrau Mirza's (d. 1622) mother
  • Khusrau Mirza, Jahangir's eldest son and briefly heir apparent to the Mughal throne
  • Nithar Begum (born Sultan-un-Nissa) (d. 1646), Khusrau Mirza's sister and Jahangir's daughter
  • Bibi Tamolan's tomb[1]
