This structure is an octagonal tomb built during the Lodi period, showcasing the characteristic Lodi architectural style. The tomb features arched openings and a domical superstructure. While pointed arch designs are present on all eight sides of the tomb, only one side remains open; the other arches have been sealed with bricks. Multiple decorative brackets can be observed surrounding the tomb. A Kangoora (battlement-like) pattern adorns the parapet, adding to the architectural detailing. The dome rests on a circular drum, and above it sits an inverted lotus, which likely once supported a finial. The tomb is constructed using Delhi quartzite stone, bricks, and lime mortar, reflecting the typical material palette of the period.
