इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The domed tomb is 12 pillared chattri and square in plan. The structure a shape seldom used is approx. 6.29 sq. m and stands on a raised plinth and reached through flight of four steps towards the south. It is roofed by a huge plastered dome crowned with lotus cresting which itself is topped by a finial. The hemispherical dome which springs from an octagonal drum is supported by 12 local stone columns with minimally carved capitals. It has two plastered graves within a black marble enclosure. There are remains of dilapidated Chajja on originally all around the building, over which is a frieze of local stone. The frieze is ornamented with a molded string-course of plaster, running all around and topped by a parapet with kangura battlements. Ornamentation on the underside of the dome is in incised plaster. The inscription which is on a piece of red sandstone built into a pillar at the head of the grave and gives the date of the death of the saint is modern. |
