The Cenotaph

As observed & appreciated earlier, the minarete base has beautiful carvings of flower & foliage motif and geometric designs on the exterior.

The Cenotaph is square on plan and has a huge, fluted dome in the center with four smaller domes at corners, a small parapet can be seen on its roof with Chhajja protruding from all four sides.

Ruins of some old brick structure are seen scattered around the complex.

The Kevda complex also has a well and a hauz or tank for ablutions.

Kevda Masjid & Cenotaph

This is a 3 mihrab mosque, apparently for common people. This Masjid was built during Mehmud Begda’s rule and is a variation – smaller model – of the Jami Masjid, it was constructed in the same style & architecture with beam, column & dome system.

However, as can be seen in the photograph, it has a Cenotaph or Mausoleum on its front side, the presence of which was not observed with Jami Masjid.
