Ali Bahadur, the first Nawab of Banda, was the son of Shamshir Bahadur I. Around 1790 A.D., he was granted the throne (gaddi) of Bundelkhand by Nana Fadnavis. The architectural style of the site is Mughal. The built heritage consists of a grave enclosure situated on a raised platform, which is accessed by three steps. Within the enclosure, there are five graves. Three of these, made of marble, belong to Ali Bahadur, Zulfiqar Bahadur, and Shamshir Bahadur. The remaining two graves, located towards the south-west of the enclosure, belong to the female members of their family. The entire grave enclosure is constructed using marble.
