The Tomb of Dara Begum, built on the east bank of a huge pond nearly three acres in size in what is now Lalmatia Block F, is variously known as Shahi Masjid or Bibir Majid to the locals. This, converted and extended in a huge multi-storied mosque with sales/display center at semi-basement level, is part of the Jamia Islamia Madrashah complex, and the pond is used for PC- culture as a source of income. Traditionally the tomb is ascribed either to a daughter of Shaista Khan or to the wife of a Subahdar before him. Based on the stronger and more sober style, it looks like belonging to some high ranking lady who died before Khan's time.
