c16.s1.24

It would be needless to make a detailed study of all the "Gumbads" mentioned above and many more like the Hijrē Ka Gumbad (Dome of Hermaphrodite) and Nīlī Gumtī, so called because of its blue tiles. The treatment in all cases is almost the same. A single chamber comprises the interior which is square in plan and the dome is supported by a squinch arch at each corner. There are sunken archways, those on the west contain the *mihrāb*. This gives a feeling of monotony and these structures seen one after the other look rather stereotyped.
