The thing that makes this mausoleum striking is that it is raised on a very tall stepped base with a projecting flight of steps leading up to the entrance. Apart from this, however, the structure is identical to that of the Dorabji Tata mausoleum, except that it has a plain metal sheet door and lacks any bronze or ceramic decoration.
