In the facades, the builders used earthenware pots to reduce the weight of the concrete filling which was followed in Rome and Egypt.

This place is not maintained properly. Safe to travel but deserted. The Mughal designs were degraded and you can see only the traces of the whole design. It's not recommended to go to the place at night.
