Erected during the reign of Sikandar Lodi (1489-1517), this square domed tomb was presumably built for one of his ministers. It has a two-storied exterior arrangement with projecting cornices, contrasted by the verticals of the iwan frame and arches. The portal frieze has square panels adorned with cobalt-blue glazed tiles imported from Persia that are not suitable for the local climate.
