It is an impressive square tomb chamber surrounded by brick built dome. Open corridors run along its four sides with polished black stone pillars. The carved stone windows and doorways with ivory inlaid doors are of fine workmanship. In the verandahs and on the platform are housed the Tombs of Haider’s family members. There is also a mosque in the complex built in Mughal style.
