Sikander Shah, son of Mahmud Begada, was assassinated during 1526AD in a place called Champaner, however, he was buried in Halol. The place where he was buried is known today as the Tomb of Sikander Shah. This tomb is slightly damaged as is evident from its upper portion. Like all other tombs of erstwhile rulers, this tomb is a beautiful structure constructed out of stone. This tomb stands on an elevated plinth that has intricate carvings of flowers and other artistic designs on its pillars. There are also carvings of geometrical designs on these pillars. The domes are fluted and the architecture, though looks quite simple, is elegant and unique its own way. This tomb also houses the graves of the two brothers of Sikander Shah.
