[2] According to an explanation by the Archeological Survey of India the name "Afsarwala tomb" could derive from Persian: افسر, romanized: afsar, lit.

[3] One of the graves inside the mausoleum contains the number 974, believed by the Archaeological Survey of India to indicate AH 974 (1566/1567 CE).

The drum which sits underneath the dome of the mosque is octagonal on the outside, but square in shape internally.

A single cruciform chamber with a double dome is located inside the mausoleum.

The external dome rises from an octagonal drum and is crowned by a red sandstone lotus finial.
