The Dargah of Pir Ismail is a memorial to Prince Aurangzeb's tutor, Pir Ismail. The garden in the Dargah consists of many destroyed water tanks and fountains. The gate is regal in its form and it has a large pointed archway, which forms a sort of portico. The original entrance is through a small pointed arch, which is at the rear. The parapet is carefully decorated and the façade has three small windows with pointed arches. The corners of the terrace has a tower which is mounted with a rounded dome and spire whilst the Dargah is square and has five pointed arches on each side.
