This research paper deals with the standardization of the Lime Mortar used in the rehabilitation of Jahangir's Tomb of same composition (as constructed) to get maximum strength and cracks free surface. We worked for the standardization of the proportion, gradation of aggregate, water/lime ratio and determination of initial setting time for the mortar.
