Structure consists of a square courtyard surrounded by verandas on all sides and three rooms in each corner. Each verandah is entered through a series of three pointed arched openings. A continuous chajjas runs along the periphery of the courtyard below the parapet on the inner walls as well as the outer walls. Outer arches on the western side are closed with moulded terra cotta work so as to form three mehrabs. Entrance to the rooms is through a flat opening with a ventilator on top, which were originally filled with Terracotta lattices. Exterior facade is decorated with blind arches and niches. The structure is constructed of brick and covered with plaster and painted. An upper storey has been recently added to the Bardari. Rang Mahal is located to the north of the tombs at Hadironwala Bagh complex. This structure is planned around a central verandah with cusped arched openings on the north and south side flanked by a room. Northern and southern sides of the verandah have been bricked up. Two staircases lead to the terrace above. Each corner of the northern side is crowned with an octagonal chattri, supported on slender octagonal pillars.

An arcaded bridge is located in the middle of the fields in close proximity to Dakhni Sarai called the Dakhni Bridge. It is situated to the south of the village Mahlian Khan on Nakodar-Kapurthala Road, 12 km from Nakodar. Once it spanned the Dhauli-Veni River to the east of the Dakhni Sarai; it was the only approaching way to the sarai. The river which flew under the bridge has now shifted its course and moved closer to the sarai.The bridge is an arcaded structure with several arches and piers supporting the road above.Originally, it had five arched spans, the central one being the highest. Most of the arched openings are now sunk in the ground with only the springing points visible. The bridge is damaged in the center and therefore not functional. Constructed of brick, the bridge left unplastered and devoid of any ornamentation.

Kos Minars or distance pillars were raised to mark the distance travelled; the minars (pillars) were placed at intervals of a kos (a distance of approximately 4.17 km). These are plastered brick structures standing on square platform. Each minar soars from a tapering octagonal base which is separated from the upper circulatory portion by a molding. This kos minar survives in a good condition on the 17th century Agra - Lahore road between Nakodar and Mahlian Kalan.
