This is a domed building with a square plan, external dimensions of approximately 6.5 by 6.5 m, and entrances to the east and west. As there are no traces of tombstones currently, it is not impossible that it is a gate, but here it will be categorized as a tomb. ASI dates the building to the Mughal period, but in consideration of its style, it will be categorized into Period II. Period II.

ドームをいただく,外辺約6.5メートルの四角平面の建物で,東と西とに入口を開いている。現在では,墓石の痕跡はないので,門である可能性もないではないが,ここでは,一応,墓建築としておく。ASIは,時代区分をムガルとしているが,様式からみて第Ⅱ期に属するものと考えたい。第Ⅱ期。

2015-18 Survey

This has become a residence, and its facades could not be seen due to the temporary dwellings surrounding it. There is a new entrance on the north side, and the openings on the east and west have been closed off.

[現状]住居となり、周囲は仮設住居に取り囲まれ、ファサードを確認することはできなかった。北側に入口を設け、東西の入口を閉じて使う。

[平面]Monuments of Delhiによると、外形7m四方。4角形の壁式ドーム建築で、東西の2方を開口する。

[外観]幅の割に高さの低い壁式ドーム建築ながら、8角形ドラムを立上げる。西側入口アーチ内に梁柱構造を有し、西側ファサードには入口を囲む枠が高く突出し、西が正面であった。東開口部は小さな楣式入口だけである。

[内観]スクインチ・アーチが使われるが、東西南北辺のアーチより、隅のアーチ幅が広い。スクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、隅部の立方体持送で円形を導き、ドームをのせる。スクインチ・アーチ内を2つの花弁状の曲面から構成する手法はここだけにみられる。

[According to the Monuments of Delhi, it is a quadrangular walled dome structure, 7m square, with two openings on the east and west sides.

[Exterior] The octagonal drum is raised while the walled dome structure is low in height relative to its width. It had a beam-column structure within the west entrance arch and a high projecting frame surrounding the entrance on the west facade, with the west being the front. The eastern opening is only a small lintel-style entrance.

[Interior view] Squinch arches are used, but the corner arches are wider than the arches on the east, west, south and north sides. The squinch arch leads to an octagonal shape, and the corner cubic arch leads to a circular shape, on which the dome is placed. This is the only place where the squinch arch is made up of two petal-like curved surfaces.
