★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited in the month of August 2021, place was good, worth visiting. But the surrounding and access roads are in horrible condition. Places are full of garbage and road having stagnant rain water.
Better not to visit during rainy season.
Sasaram is well connected through Train and Road network.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The tomb of Sher Shah Suri is in the Sasaram town of Bihar state, India. The tomb was built in memory of Emperor Sher Shah Suri, a Pathan from Bihar who defeated the Mughal Empire and founded the Suri Empire in northern India. He died in an accidental gunpowder explosion in the fort of Kalinjar on 10th day of Rabi' al-awwal, A.H. 952 or 13 May 1545 AD.
His tomb is an example of Indo-Islamic architecture, it was designed by the architect Mir Muhammad Aliwal Khan and built between 1540 and 1545 this red sandstone mausoleum (122 ft high), which stands in the middle of an artificial lake, which is nearly square, is known as the second Taj Mahal of India. The tomb stands at the centre of the lake on a square stone plinth with domed kiosks, chhatris at each of its corners, further there are stone banks and stepped moorings on all sides of the plinth, which is connected to the mainland through a wide stone bridge. The main tomb is built on octagonal plan, topped by a dome, 22-metre in span and surrounded ornamental domed kiosks which were once covered in coloured glazed tile work. The lake around the tomb is seen as a development in the Afghan phase of Sultan architecture by the Sur Dynasty.
The tomb was built during the lifetime of Sher Shah as well as the reign of his son Islam Shah. An inscription dates its completion to 16 August 1545, three months after the death of Sher Shah.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Sher Shah Suri’s tomb is one of the most iconic and beautiful historic places to be visited in Bihar. It is the mausoleum of Sher Shah Suri who built the Grand Trunk Road, also popularly known as GT Road in India. Very few people know that his original name was Farid Khan. He was an intelligent man and a good politician. This building is a great example of Afghan architecture in India. The tomb itself is conveniently located at a reasonable 10-15 minutes drive from the national highway (NH19) which connects Delhi and Kolkata, two major metro cities of India. Ticket prices are Rs25/- per head for adults and parking charge is also Rs25/- per car. They have a good parking place with restrooms, although they were not very clean. I went here early morning at around 8am and it was very quite and peaceful with very few visitors. The serene water lake surrounding the tomb makes for a picturesque location for taking some good pics. I had a good time here.
