This beautiful structure, built in the early decades of the 20th century, exhibits distinctive Indo-Persian architectural features. It is a single-storeyed building constructed on an octagonal plan and stands on a slightly raised marble platform. The structure is crowned with a domical superstructure supported by multiple columns. It features a slanting eave that supports a vaulted roof, while a shallow dome sits atop an octagonal drum just above the eave. The railings made of red sandstone are intricately designed with lattice work. The building material used up to the lintel level is red sandstone, while the dome is constructed using lakhori bricks and lime mortar.
