exterior divides itself into two storeys with the help of
a projecting horizontal cornice.

is a tomb from the last lineage of the Lodhi Dynasty and is
thought to have possibly been constructed between 1489

houses tombs of an unknown family that may have been a
part of the Lodhi family and a part of Sikandar Lodi's court.](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/lodhiarchitecture-171228150114/85/Lodhi-architecture-7-320.jpg)
