Qadam Rasool

 islam, shrine

Makka Darzi, a Darogha ( Superintendent) of King Nasir-ud-Din Haider and a tailor by profession, had built it as a part of a large complex dedicated to the memory of martyrs of Karbala. A square shrine chamber lies at the center. The edifice employs the same compositional elements – a square ground level surmounted by a round dome .The ground level block has projecting arcaded porticos on all fronts.
Khairabad Qadam Rasool has a long flight of steps leading up to it. The ceilings and walls of the shrine were painted over with motifs permissible by Islam. The façade of Qadam Rasool has a fantastic floridity and complexity. The domes have perforations. The materials used for its construction are brick and stucco. The interior has blue, green and yellow coloring on the walls. The exterior is brown with age.
Despite the greatest importance of Holy Prophet, Qadam Rasool mentioned above can easily be categorized as forgotten monuments with a rich past. The Khairabad Qadam Rasool is in an utter state of neglect and requires immediate repairs and renovation.
