Chini Ka Rauza is a mausoleum having the tomb of Allama Afzal Khan Mullah. He was a poet and scholar who served as the Prime Minister of the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. This was built in 1635 and located near the tomb of Itmad Ud Daulah.

 

This was the first building in India that was decorated with glazed tiles. It has colorful tiles which are called chini and thus the monument got its name. The rectangular tomb was constructed with brown stone. The central chamber was octagonal in shape and has 8 curved recesses.
