This structure, built during the Lodi period, follows an Indo-Persian architectural style and is laid out on a rectangular plan. It features a domical superstructure, with the eastern wall containing a corbel arch, while the other sides display pointed recessed arches with rectangular posts. The northern and southern walls are adorned with four arch designs each. On the western side, there are projected jharokhas (overhanging enclosed balconies). A parapet wall with a kangoora (battlement-like) design runs along the top of the structure. Minarets are present at each corner, and the dome sits on an octagonal drum decorated with a kangoora pattern. Additionally, plaster minarets are positioned at the structural joints. The building is constructed primarily of lakhori bricks and lime mortar, with a stone plinth and a wooden door. Over time, the structure has been coated with lime multiple times, and tiles were added to the floor during later renovations.
