The tomb was constructed during the Lodi period, specifically under the reign of Sikandar Lodi, a year after he shifted his capital from Delhi to Agra. Architecturally, the structure follows the Indo-Persian style, combining elements of Indian and Persian design traditions. The tomb features a domed chamber, which rests on an octagonal drum. The drum is decorated with a kangura (battlement) pattern, adding to its visual appeal. Above the structure, a chhajja (projecting eave) is adorned with a plastered parapet. The building is constructed using random rubble masonry and lime mortar, while sandstone is used for the cornice and brackets. The entire structure has been finished with lime plaster. There are no specific local or traditional descriptions associated with the site.
