Located within a park, the grave of Sultan Ibrahim Lodhi is placed on a high platform with parapet, accessible through a flight of steps. The platform and the parapet wall are built of lakhori bricks. The north side of the platform houses a screen with inscriptions. The tomb was moved and rebuilt in 1867, from its original location to its current location since it was obstructing the construction of Grand Trunk road.
