Sawi Masjid is in fact a tomb, of which the roof has been collapsed. This building now represents a view of an open courtyard enclosed by walls with its projected gateway on the east. The western wall of the enclosure is rich with glazed tile work, very finely recessed mihrab has been provided in the center of the western wall. The inscription in glazed tiles within a small arched panel above the mihrab and on the top of the recessed arch indicates a sort of hymn.
