The eye-catching pure white marble platform is constructed in square and enriched by four marble faced three-storey minarets with the pillared domes of octagonal chhatris toppings. The vaulted tunnel stairs reach to the platform from the riverfront terrace in the centre of the southern side. The centre of the rest three sides opens via two doors to a long room lit by jalis (cage window) in hexagonal patterns. The doors are the entrance of the small square rooms which give access to the long room as connecting rooms. The rooms once used for the imperial family’s resting place are now functioning for storage.
The façades of the platform is ornamented continuously with the blind arches and round shaped figures followed by rectangular frames above.
