Located approximately 300 m south from the southern tip of Mihrawlī village, to the east of the road leading south. Grid ref. F-13

This area thought to be a graveyard is built on a high plinth; on the west side, there is a small wall mosque with three miḥrābs.

To the south of the wall mosque, there is a domed gate with a square plan; it has entrances on four sides, with steps on the west. ASI categorizes this gate into the Mughal period, but its style points to Period II. There is also a west-facing rectangular building to the east of the graveyard, which may have been built during the same period and bear some connection with the graveyard. Period II.

この墓地と思われる区域は,高い基壇の上にあり,西側に,三つのミフラーブをもつ小さな礼拝壁が立っている。

この礼拝壁の南側には,ドームをいただき,四方に入口と西側に階段をもつ四角平面の門が設けられている。ASIは,この門を,ムガル時代のものとしているが,様式からみて,第Ⅱ期に属するものと考えたい。なお,墓地の東側には,西面する長方形の建物があるが,ほぼ同時代に,この墓地と関連して建てられたものかもしれない。第Ⅱ期。

2015-18 Survey

This structure consists of a wall mosque and a gate on the south; the former is used as a mosque, with new walls and a corrugated iron ceiling. In the Google Earth photo dated February 10th, 2006, this place was a jungle, so it is thought that the structure was made into a mosque after this date. The center mihrab has been covered in white stucco and paint, with the part above extended higher and the sides widened. The kangura has been incorporated into the extensions and could not be seen. The gate measuring 5.8m square has become a private dwelling and could not be entered, but no drastic changes could be seen to its exterior.

[現状]壁モスクと南門からなり、壁モスクは、壁を立上げトタンで天井をかけ、モスクとして使われる。Google Earthで確認すると2006年2月10日の写真まではジャングルで、その後モスクに改変されたと思われる。中央ミフラーブは上部に高さを増し、側部を拡張し、白色スタッコとペンキを塗る。頂部飾は増築部に内包され不明である。5.8m四方の門は住宅となり中に入ることはできなかったが、外観には大きな変化は見られない。

[壁モスク]広い基壇上西辺に壁モスクを配する。壁モスクは、3つのミフラーブを並べ、中央ミフラーブを立上げ上部に頂部飾を配し、袖壁や隅の塔型をもたない。中央ミフラーブ上のコーニスは、1959-62年の写真には突出が認められるが現在は平らで、上部は失われ、その上に新しい壁が増設された可能性が高い。

[南門]敷地の南西隅にあり、四方を開放する壁式ドーム建築で、中央アーチ開口部にはコの字型枠が突出する。壁頂部に頂部飾を配し、8角形ドラムに頂部飾を回し、ドームをのせる。内部はスクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、持送で16角形とし、ドームをのせる。

[Wall mosque] The wall mosque is located on the west side of a wide base. The wall mosque has three mihrabs lined up, the central mihrab is erected and has a top ornament at the top, and does not have side walls or corner towers. The cornice above the central mihrab is seen to protrude in the 1959-62 photos, but it is now flat, and it is highly likely that the top has been lost and a new wall has been added on top of it.

[South Gate] Located in the southwest corner of the site, it is a wall-type dome building open on all four sides, with a U-shaped frame protruding from the central arch opening. A capstone is placed on the top of the wall, and the capstone is placed around an octagonal drum, on which the dome rests. Inside, the octagon is guided by squinch arches, and corbels make it a 16-sided polygon on which the dome rests.
