This beautiful 16th Century AD monument, a tomb, was extensively restored by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture. The salient feature of the monument is the magnificent plasterk on the interior of the dome, which was restored as it had deteriorated due to rainwater seeping from above. This monument is located in the Sunder Nursery near the Lakkar Wala Gumbad and Sunderwala Mahal.
