A magnificent Hindu temple and decorated internally with glazed tiles. There also prevails a tradition that such a temple also existed on Makli hill long time ago. Renowned scholar, Bhirumal Mehrchand Advani described that temple and had given evidence of that Temple and also had corroborated this version about the name of hill. It is supposed that in the tomb of Jam Nizamuddin II the materials of that Hindu temple were used freely. It is a square building, without a roof, built entirely of stone, the carving on which, affords strong grounds for inferring that the materials of some ruined Hindu temple have been freely used, omitting, or obliterating, idolatrous emblems. Two contiguous stones in the wail are sometimes of different breadths and contain dissimilar patterns. A staircase through the side wall leads to a narrow balcony and a portico decidedly Hindu in their character. Numerous smaller buildings round about, in a more or less ruined condition, exhibit still more distinct traces of Hindu origin. An adjacent tomb, evidently of more recent date, is decorated internally with glazed tiles.
