The tomb was built in 1698.The shape of building is Octagonal.The tomb has two story building, can reach to upper building via stairs.The tomb was converted in a dance club during British period.
Half of the tomb was fallen few years ago Now govt restores it in original shape you can not find the difference between new and old construction.

Hey there @Muhammad_Usman ,
Your pictures are amazing thank you for sharing.
What an incredible building, I’m so pleased to hear that the government restored it.
I can’t believe that it was once used as a dance club, do you know for how long they exploited it as such?
Thank a lot @Deskata I took this information from Wikipedia but didnt find how long they use it as a Dance house
