The main structure of the Shah Alam Tomb is a three-domed mosque with five arches and two main prayer chambers. Alongside the main prayer chamber there is a smaller area raised on pillars and covered with stone jaali, lattice work screen. This was for women worshippers. The mausoleum itself, built by Feroz Shah Tughlaq for Saint Shah Alam in the 14th century, is in the centre of the courtyard and faces the mosque. It is placed on a raised square platform surrounded by a dozen stout stone pillars supporting a multi-tiered dome. A stencil-perfect ornate floral design, dyes still intact, is engraved on to the convexity at the top. A smaller, single-domed structure is across the tomb with cooler, darker interiors. A flight of steep stone stairs led up the main mosque from where you could see the still-in-use Wazirabad Bridge of the same age.
