The building is a well-designed domed structure with four handsome minarets, constructed of small thin bricks. The exterior is panelled, the panels and minarets being veneered with \*Kāshī\* tile-work of great brilliancy, still in fairly good preservation. The minaret figured in Plate CVIII gives a good idea of the effect. - [Previous: c19.s6.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.26) - [Next: c19.s6.28](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.28) - [Up: c19.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.art.smith-1911.c19.s6.27) · Pramāṇa
