Quadrangular tomb stands on a small pedestal, and its dome rises more than 38 meters above the ground. The lower tier is decorated with a series of graceful arches, which are located around the perimeter of the building. The sarcophagus of the ruler is located in the centre of the upper tier in the great hall, decorated arranged in several rows of Windows in arched openings. Later in the room was equipped with several sarcophagi, in which are buried the wife of Humayun (including Hamid Banu Begum) and several subsequent Mughal emperors.
