Wall decoration
Each wall has three arches marked by exuberant foliage decoration at the apex and the lotus medallions in the spandrels. This decoration is most well preserved in the central arch of the south wall where a stone inscription records details of Amin Khan's rule. Above the walls is a parapet of trefoil battlements, punctuated by finials whose shafts are covered with miniature arches.
