Jam Nizamuddin II


Jám Nizámuddín II, also known as Jam Nizam al-Din or Jám Nindó, was the 15th Sultan of Sindh from the Samma dynasty, reigning between 1461 and 1508 CE. His capital was Thatta in modern-day southern Pakistan. After his death, his son Jám Ferózudin lost the Sultanate in 1524 to an invading army of Shah Beg Arghun, who had been thrown out of Kandahar by Babur.

Tomb

Nizamuddin's grave is located on Makli Hill and part of the world heritage site of Historical Monuments at Makli. The tomb is an impressive stone structure with fine ornamental carving similar to the 15th-century Gujrat style. It has been restored but suffers from cracks and wall distortions caused by rough weathering and erosion of the slope on which it stands.
