Lahore, Punjab

Neela Gumbad is a Mughal Era Sufi shrine located on Mall Road in Lahore, near Anarkali Bazaar. Its name means 'The Blue Dome,' taken from its iconic turquoise-tiled dome. The shrine is dedicated to 17th-century Sufi saint Abdul Razzak Makki and was built by his disciples after his passing in 1673 AD. It remains one of the most well known landmarks of Old Lahore with the surrounding area coming to be known as 'Neela Gumbad.'
