Three-quarter view of the mausoleum of Safdar Jang, an ornate building that sits on a platform-like structure, topped with a large dome and chattris or decorative domed pavilions. The platform's exterior itself is made up of a series of arches. At each of the building's corner is a tower that is decorated with geometric patterns. Three native men can be seen standing near the building in the center of the image, one of whom stands on the platform.
