Ghias-ud-din, on return from an expedition to Bengal, was received with great pomp by his son Muhammad Jauna, entitled Ulugh Khan, who is better known by his royal name Muhammad-bin-Tughlak. A wooden pavilion was built and magnificently adorned with colourful tapestry. It suddenly collapsed and Ghias-ud-din was killed. He lies buried in a massive tomb, which he had built in his life-time in front of his citadel of Tughlakabad.
