2015-18 Survey
This is used as a residence, with the entrance on the east and the other three sides closed. A partition wall aligned in the east-west direction has been built to the north of the east entrance to divide the space into two rooms. There is now a ceiling at the level of the octagon above the squinch arches, creating an attic space underneath the dome.
[現状]住宅として使われ、東を入口にし、3方を閉ざす。東入口北に東西方向の障壁を設け、2室に分割して使用する。またスクインチ・アーチ上部の8角形の位置に天井を設け、ドーム下を屋根裏部屋とする。
[平面] Monuments of Delhiによると、外形7.3m四方。1959-62年の写真には北側入口が写り、現状で内部の南と西にもそれぞれ深いアーチがあり、四方を開口した可能性もある。
[外観]ファサードは、アーチを囲む枠を突出させ、壁と8角形ドラムに頂部飾をもち、頂部の蓮弁も残る。
[内観]室内には厚く上塗りが施され、不明な点も多いが、おそらくスクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、隅部に角形持送を入れ円を導き、ドームをのせる。

[Plan] According to Monuments of Delhi, the exterior dimensions are 7.3m square. A photograph from 1959-62 shows the north entrance, and there are deep arches on the south and west sides of the interior, so it is possible that it was opened on all four sides.
[Exterior] The façade has a protruding frame surrounding the arch, and the walls and octagonal drum have decorative tops, with the lotus petals at the top also remaining.
[Interior] The interior is thickly painted, and although many aspects are unknown, it is likely that the octagon is formed by squinch arches, with square corbels at the corners forming a circle, and a dome on top.
