A large foliated water tank is found on the terrace, suggesting an elaborate water lifting mechanism to operate fountains on the terrace level. Rahim, known to have built elaborate water lifting structures in Burhanpur would have no doubt incorporated such a system here to lift water from the river to the tanks on the upper plinth.
Careful scientific clearance of modern late 20th century cement concrete layers from the tomb platform has been carried out to investigate the original layers and the extent of the water distribution system visible with four tanks and connecting channel.
The existing tanks will be restored and made water tight to prevent water ingress into the structure below and efforts will be made to restore flowing water in the tanks.
