Makam diraja (Royal mausoleum of) Batu Gajah?



Penduduk tempatan memberitahu di Batu Gajah juga ada makam diraja Perak.
Locals told me at Batu Gajah there also exists a royal mausoleum of Perak.


Selepas ditunjukkan arah saya pun melihat lebih dekat.
After having been pointed the way I came for a closer look.


Kelihatan di kawasan ini terdapat banyak kuburan biasa. Nampaknya yang dikatakan makam diraja harus di dalam lingkungan bangunan ini.
Could be seen that this area has plenty of common graves. Seems like what is said to be the royal mausoleum has to be within this building.


Yang pasti ada makam seorang kerabat diraja bernama Raja Baharom. Beliau adalah anakanda kepada almarhum Sultan ke 32 Perak, Sultan Yusuf Izzudin Shah dan kekanda kepada Sultan ke 34 merangkap pemerintah sekarang, Sultan Azlan Shah.
What is sure there is the tomb of  royalty named Raja Baharom. He was a son to the late 32nd Sultan of Perak, Sultan Yusuf Izzudin Shah and elder brother to the 34th Sultan alias the current ruler, Sultan Azlan Shah.


Di sebelah adalah makam ibunya Toh Puan Khadijah.
Besides is the tomb of his mother Toh Puan Khadijah.


Beliau adalah wanita kebanyakan yang menjadi isteri seorang Sultan. Apabila seorang anakanda beliau menaiki takhta sebagai Sultan Azlan kaum keluarganya pun mendapat taraf lebih terhormat.
She was a commoner woman who became the wife to a Sultan. When a son of her ascended the throne as Sultan Azlan her family and kith and kins then gained a more respectable status.
