A large greenish-marble tomb is the object of reverence.[1] Decorated with imagery of sword, shield, and arrows, it is believed to house the remains of Malik Ajdar Palwan.[1] Behind the tomb, there is a tiled colonnade supported by five turquoise domes.[1] In the east, stands a square mausoleum with a dome but no tomb.[1]
