This small but historically significant tomb was built during the Lodi period. It features an octagonal chhatri topped with a domical superstructure. The upper portion of the structure is supported by eight pillars, and a cenotaph is situated at the center. The pillars are adorned with beautiful Doric capitals, adding to the aesthetic and architectural value of the monument. The entire structure is constructed using Delhi Quartzite, a material commonly used in the architecture of that era. While there is no known local or traditional description associated with the site, its architectural style clearly reflects the Lodi design.
