Tomb of Mir Jumla II

The Tomb of Mir Jumla II is a historic Mughal-era tomb located at Thakuranbari in West Garo Hills district, Meghalaya, near the Assam border. It marks the burial site of Mirza Jumla, Mughal governor of Bengal who died in 1663 while returning from his Assam campaign. Situated on a small hillock, the simple grave structure is noted for its historical association with the 17th-century Mughal expansion into Northeast India and is a lesser-known heritage site in the Garo Hills region.

Visitors can expect a simple, modest grave structure situated on a small hillock at Thakuranbari near the Meghalaya-Assam border. The site is in a quiet, rural setting surrounded by the landscape of the Garo Hills. There is no elaborate architecture or complex, and the visit is focused on viewing the historic tomb, reading any informational markers, and observing the surrounding area. The site is relatively isolated and visited primarily for its historical interest.

The tomb marks the burial place of Mirza Jumla (Mir Jumla II), who served as the Mughal governor of Bengal under Emperor Aurangzeb. He led the Mughal invasion of the Ahom Kingdom in Assam in 1662-1663. He died on 30 March 1663 while returning from the campaign and was buried at this site at Thakuranbari, then on the frontier between Bengal and Assam. The tomb is a remnant of 17th-century Mughal presence in Northeast India.
