Tughlaqs built three main types of tombs: square, octagonal and pavilion. It was constructed by Ghiyas-ud-din Tughlaq. A notable feature of the tomb is the sloping walls, at a 75 degree angle with the ground instead of vertical walls. This architectural style is similar to the sloping walls of the Hindola Mahal in Mandu, Madhya Pradesh.

Perhaps the wall design was intended to buttress the heavy stone arches that support the ceiling. The inside walls are vertical and plain.
