This structure is an unadorned tomb from the Lodi period, distinct from the more elaborately decorated tombs found in Lodi Garden. It follows the Indo-Persian architectural style and is constructed on a square plan, facing east. The entrance is through a recessed arched gateway, flanked on either side by two arched niches. A notable feature is the ribbed dome that sits atop a drum, which is surrounded by a battlement-style parapet. This battlement design is also present above the arched entrance, giving the structure a fortified appearance. The entire monument has been restored using cement and bricks, though the original construction employed dressed stone masonry and lime mortar. The surface has been finished with a layer of lime plaster. Despite its simplicity, the structure reflects the architectural essence of the Lodi era with its geometric planning, domed roofing, and functional elegance.
