History

The  South Gate serving as the main entrance is the largest gate of the building, consisting of four minarets made of white marble, resembling those of the Taj Mahal. The tomb itself is surrounded by a walled enclosure. The tomb building is a four-story pyramid with a marble pavilion. Like any mausoleum, the main tomb is in the basement. The building is mainly composed of bright red sandstone and is rich in white marble elements. Decorative inlays and black slates made of these materials decorate the tomb and main gatehouse. The panel design is geometric, floral, and calligraphy, envisioning a more complex and delicate design.
