It has been built very beautifully, it is 200 meters away from the railway station of Alwar, there is a big pot of old time, which is made of clay and the workmanship is worth seeing, it is 375 years old.

This tomb was made in honour of Fateh Jang who used to work in the court of Shah Jahan. The tomb of Fateh Jang is a classic representation of Rajput and Mughal architecture. It is made up of high quality minarets and sandstones, which catch everybody's attention. This tomb is a fine example of Indo-Islamic architecture and was built under the reign of Shah Jahan (Mughal emperor). This five-storied splendour surpasses all the contemporary monuments.

A very unique mausoleum of the Mughal era, the tomb of Fateh Jung is located right next to Alwar railway station, you can even see it from the train going towards Jaipur.
There are no charges to enter this building and people with reduced mobility can access it easily too.
The grave of Fateh Jung is looked after by a local Muslim peer but he was absent when I was there.
The entire monument is maintained by Rajasthan government which is doing a fantastic job considering that no one almost comes here.
You can even see some of the original colours of flowers on the walls and a huge earthen pot which was used probably to store large amounts of Ganga water as many Mughal emperors and nobles only used to drink that.
