About Nader Shah's death and tomb history

When Nader went to Khorasan to quell one of these riots, a group of his commanders, led by Ali Gholi Khan, attacked his tent at night and killed him. During his lifetime, Nader Shah ordered the construction of a small tomb on Mashhad Street. This small tomb was built in 1145 AH near the Chahar Bagh Shahi and in front of the shrine of Imam Reza.

Qavam al-Saltaneh built a new tomb for him in the late Qajar era (1296 AH) at the site of one of Naderi's destroyed tombs and carried his bones from Tehran to the tomb. The new building had been in place for some time before the Iranian National Monuments Association sought to build a suitable tomb for Nader Shah at the same site as Qavam al-Saltanah. This work started in 1336 AH and ended in 1342 AH. The new building of Nader Shah Afshar's tomb was reopened in April 1342 with the presence of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi at the Iranian National Monuments Association in Naderi Garden.
