The tomb of Pir Haji Muhammad Sahib is at a distance of less than half a mile from the ruins of Tomb of Zain-ul-abideen’s mother.
In plan it is similar to the tomb of Zain-ul-abidin’s mother, the only difference being that this has two flights of steps facing east and west, and the latter has only one, which faces west. In the eastern corner of the courtyard is a smaller enclosure partitioned off from the main area; this also contains a trefoiled niche and some fluted columns.
There is a small square Muslim brick tomb within the compound wall.
The position of these ruins suggested to Sir Aurel Stein their “possible identity” with the temple of Vishnu Ranasvamin, which Kalhana mentions as founded by King Ranaditya1.
