Auranseb, one of the most controversial figures in the history of India, died in Ahmednira (officially Agilianora) -horod in the western central Maharashtra, approximately 130 kilometers from the burial place. But historians say Avranzeb was buried in Holdabad according to his last wishes.
Dozens of people, including policemen, were injured, and more than 50 were arrested when, on Monday, fierce clashes shook Nagpur in Maharashtra. Violence occurred over the rumors of blasphemy against the background of protests that called for the destroying the grave of Emperor Mughal Avranzeba. But the grave of Avrangeba, who died more than 300 years ago in 1707, is not in Nagpur. Neither in Delhi, one of the capitals of the Mughal empire. His tomb is located in Holdabad, a lesser famous place in Maharashtra.
Latest wishes of Avranzeba
Auranseb, one of the most controversial figures in the history of India, died in Ahmednar (officially called Agilian) -hade in the western central Maharashtra, approximately 130 kilometers from the burial place.
But historians say Avranseb was buried in Huldabad according to his last wishes, because he wanted his grave to be near Sufi Saint Zinuddin Shirazi.
“They must carry this sinner, threw out in the vicinity of the holy grave of the revered leader … Zinuddin Shirazi,” said Auransab, historian Carl Ernst reports.
The emperor also wished a simple grave, as he could see from his relatively not characteristic grave.
Name of Huldabada related to Avranzeb
The city, known today as Holdabad, was called Rausa (this means the shrine) for the fact that it lives in the shrines of several Sufi saints. However, he began to be called Huldabad, after the title “Hool-Makani”, which after his death was given Avrangebe.
