Tomb of Hazrat Rukn-e-Alam, Multan is part of the Tentative list of Pakistan in order to qualify for inclusion in the World Heritage List.

The Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam, located in Multan, was built between 1320 and 1324 by Ghiyath al-Din, the first ruler of the Tughluq dynasty in the Sultanate of Delhi. It is the mausoleum of the Sufi saint Shah Rukn-e-Alam and his descendants. The tomb is considered the earliest example of Tughluq architecture. It influenced the style of later monuments in the Indian subcontinent.

This is a double entry on the Tentative List - it covers the same as Tomb of Shah Rukn-e-Alam (2004). Reviews are posted on that site page.
