Answer: A
Soln:
● The last powerful Mughal emperor Aurangazeb is buried in a simple grave in
Khuldabad, a Sufi centre near the Ellora caves in Maharashtra.
● It’s a striking departure from the tombs of earlier Mughals: no towering domes of marble
and sandstone, no expansive gardens, no tragic love story. Just a grave, covered with a little
marble.
● The fact is that the area around Ellora is one of the most consistently sacred sites in human
history: it is home to over two thousand years of sacred architecture, from every pan-Indian
religion. Buddhism, Hinduism, Jainism, and Islam all dominated it.
● By the 10th century, Ellora was studded with rock-cut shrines, the most impressive of
which was the Kailasanatha Temple, today a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
● Nearby city of Devagiri was conquered by the Delhi Sultanate in the late 1200s.
● Soon after, Sultan Muhammad bin Tughlaq shifted his capital to Devagiri and ordered a
chunk of Delhi’s Muslim intelligentsia to relocate there.
● Many Sufi Saints also relocated in this process and many settled in the region. This led to a
Sufi Culture in the region.

On this Civil Services Day, we celebrate the silent warriors of our democracy—the IAS, IPS, IFS, and other officers—who uphold justice, ensure governance, and empower change.
This day marks the historic address by Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel in 1947, where he called civil servants the ‘Steel Frame’ of India—a legacy that lives on.
At Officers IAS Academy, run by those who have lived this journey, we honour the past and nurture the future, we are proud to guide aspirants who strive to uphold these values and build a better India.
