The Pathan Sher Afghan was the first husband of Mehrunnisa, who came to be known as Noor Jahan, after her marriage to Mughal Emperor Jahangir. Sher Afghan was married to Mehrunnisa in 1594, but Jahangir fell in love with her. When Akbar sent Jahangir as the governor to Bengal the two got into a spat and Sher Afghan was killed in a battle with Mughal forces. In the same compound lies the tomb of Pir Bairam, which looks a lot like the Qadam Rasoul Masjid of Gauda.
