Why were Mughal emperor Jahangir's intestines buried in Rajouri while his body was laid to rest in Lahore? The story behind his two graves
Among the many fascinating stories of the Mughal Empire, few are as unusual as that of Emperor Jahangir.

While his magnificent mausoleum stands in Lahore, Pakistan, a lesser-known grave in Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district is believed to hold only his intestines.
