| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The remarkable building is a simplistic structure part-modern and part-medieval and serves as a passage to the Dargah. It is the 14th c. vaulted passage used by pilgrims. The rubble-built walls are about 3 meter wide. The facade of the building has circular arched recesses. It is decorated with arched windows and addition of jaalis stone lattice screens on the windows made of red sandstone. The passageways connecting the baoli to the Dargah are no longer unkempt, but faced with white plaster and marble that add luster and a certain degree of respect to the structures. |
