It’s on top of the baoli wall and it was from a ledge under this  that kids dive into the chashm e falak.


 A lady got it made her tomb in 17th c.  The tomb has a date inscribed on it. She is now known as Bai Kodak dai as no one knows her real name.

It’s an exquisite tomb with the 99 names of Allah inscribed on it and has somehow survived. 


The wall u see is toilet of family staying next door now being removed and renovated by Aga khan trust.

The bricks are a toilet and so prevent the direct baoli view

 It’s direct view of the baoli and has a direct path to Dargah
