1959-62 Survey
Located in the Green Park residential area, immediately north of the road leading from Mihrawlī Road to Ḥawẓ Khāṣṣ. Grid ref. G-11
This is a domed building with a square plan, with each exterior side measuring 11.7 m. There are entrances on all sides except the west side that has the miḥrāb. Three tombs can be found inside the building. The small six-pillared chahatri atop the dome is an unusual feature. Nearby residents are said to have called the building the Bāndī (Female Servant) Gumbad or Potī (Granddaughter) Gumbad, with respect to the larger tomb structure lying to its west. Period III.

ドームをいただく,外辺11.7メートルの四角平面の建物で,ミヒラーブをもつ西側をのぞく三方に,それぞれ,入口を開いている。内部には,三基の墓が認められる。ドームの頂上に,小さな六本柱のチャハトリがのせられているのがめずらしい。この建物は,西側にある,より大きな墓建築に対して,附近の住民によって,バーンディー(Bandi,女召使い),あるいはポーティー(Poti,孫娘)のグンバッドとよばれていたらしい。第Ⅲ期。

T29 and T53, its neighbour to the west, are known as Dadi Puthi’s Tombs. They are preserved by ASI on the same park grounds and have an ASI signboard. The extremely intricate stucco reliefs on the north facade have been preserved but are today beige in colour. In the 1959-62 photos, the stucco parts were quite blackened, so it is thought that they have been cleaned.
[現状]西隣のT53とあわせてDadi Puthi’s Tombsと呼ばれ、同じ公園敷地内にASIによって保存され、看板がたつ。北面の繁縟なスタッコ浮彫が保存され現在はベージュ色を呈している。1959-62年の写真ではスタッコ部分が黒ずんでいるのでおそらく洗い出しが行われた。
[平面] Monuments of Delhiによると、外形11.8m四方。西にミフラーブ、3方を開口する壁式ドーム建築。
[外観]壁面上とドラムに頂部飾を回し、ドームの頂部には赤砂岩造の6角形のチャトリをのせる。ミフラーブの西面は外側に突出し、3方の開口部も同様な突出部でアーチを枠取り、アーチ内に、梁柱の入口を設ける。両側の突出部に浅浮彫のアーチがある点も特色である。
[内観]スクインチ・アーチで8角形を導き、隅部に持送(角と平)を重ね16角形を導き、16連小アーチのドラムを立上げ、ドームを導く。移行部下層の8つのアーチをコの字型に枠取り、2重のスクインチ・アーチ内は2段の持送で一曲面とする。移行部上層の16のアーチは、スパンドレルにメダイオンをアーチ内部に火炎状多弁形アーチを装飾する。

[Plan] According to the Monuments of Delhi, the exterior dimensions are 11.8m square. It has a mihrab on the west side and a walled dome with openings on three sides
[Exterior] The walls and the drum are ornamented, and a hexagonal chhatri made of red sandstone is placed atop the dome. The west side of the mihrab protrudes outward, and similar protrusions frame arches on the three openings, with beam-columned entrances within the arches. Another distinctive feature is the bas-relief arches on both protrusions.
[Interior view] Squinch arches form an octagon, corbels (corner and flat) are layered at the corners to form a 16-sided shape, and a drum of 16 consecutive small arches is raised to form the dome. The eight arches on the lower level of the transitional section are framed in a U-shape, and the double squinch arches have two levels of corbels inside to form a single curved surface. The 16 arches on the upper level of the transitional section are decorated with medallions on the spandrels and flame-like multi-petaled arches inside the arches.
