It likely served as a tomb for a high-ranking individual or royal family member of the Lodi dynasty. The monument’s simplicity and less-ornamented style reflect the architectural preferences of the Lodi period.

Dadi ka Gumbad, a lesser-known but historically significant monument, is located in the DDA Park, close to Hauz Rani and Malviya Nagar in South Delhi. Built during the late 15th century, it belongs to the Lodi era and is part of Delhi's rich medieval heritage. The tomb features a large, dome-shaped structure with a square base, typical of the architecture of that period, with elements like arched entrances, intricate plaster work, and calligraphic inscriptions, although these details have eroded over time.
