The Tomb of Khawaja Awais Kagha is a prominent Sufi mausoleum of Multan located in Dera Basti cemetery, 1.6 kilometers southwest of Multan's historical center in Pakistan.
It was constructed around 1300 AD.
Architecture
The tomb's architecture, echoing the 10th-century Ismail Samani Mausoleum in Bukhara, consists of a square base with corner turrets and a dome.
The tomb's exterior is adorned with blue and white glazed tiles, a distinctive Indus Valley feature originating from early Multan tombs. The building's main axis is atypical, facing south, while Islamic tradition usually favors east-facing entrances. This orientation is suggestive of Suhrawardi Sufi tombs in Multan, representing a departure from Islamic norms in favor of multifaith traditions. However, the tomb maintains orthodoxy through its southwest-aligned qibla, allowing prayers directed towards Mecca.
