The Quaranic Texts in Arabic are Craved, inside Tomb Chamber, on Lintels, Archives & also above Jali work on Eastern Side Walls.

The Extant Parapet Wall on the Roof Terrace is Embellished with Merlon Design in Brick Red Color Evident from the Traces. The Lower Portion of Cylindrical Dome Surrounding the Tomb was Covered with Thick Plaster of Brick Red Color.

The Mausoleum has a Double Dome & seems to have been a Garden Tomb & Vav or Step Well to its West, across the road, which was perhaps used for supplying the water to the garden.
