The other tomb towards the south east side belongs to the Tughlaq period and was used as a fodder store initially, which was later on preserved by the Department of Archaeology.
6. Architectural style The superstructure is on a square plan and is made up of random rubble masonry. The tomb has arched doorways with brackets on architraves, a typical characteristic of the Lodi period. The parapet and the drum are crowned with kanguras. The red sand stone finial on the dome is a unique feature of the tomb.
