The monument is located within the Humayun's Tomb complex and is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike.

The palace features stunning geometric patterns, floral motifs, and calligraphy on its walls and ceilings.

    Sunderwala Mahal is a major attraction in the Sunder Nursery. It's a 16th century's Mughal period tomb and protected monument of unidentified person. This complex was previously known as Batashewala complex before renovation and it's of its own kind in India. This Nursery is developed mutually by Agha Khan Cultural Trust, ASI, and CPWD on Bagh e Azeem of Mughal Era. And it was reopened for public on 21 February 2018. It's situated close to the Humayun's Tomb in Nizamuddin.

    Today Sunder Nursery contains fifteen heritage monuments of which 6 are UNESCO World Heritage sites, including Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) protected Sundarwala Burj, Sundarwala Mahal and Lakkarwala Burj. After renovations starting in 2007, the nursery reopened to public as a heritage park on 21 February 2018. Now it contains over 300 types of trees, making it Delhi's first arboretum.

    Sunderwala Mahal - a 16th century World Heritage monument Sitting in a beautiful manicured green lawn with vintage iron chair around it, this monument has a beautiful ambience. The site is very clean and well maintained. One can go inside the monument too and it is very clean. It has been recently conserved by Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC). This mausoleum is a square structure comprising of an underground crypt surrounded by eight chambers – representing the Hasht Bihist, or the eight-spaces of Quranic Paradise. The corners are also chamfered to create an eight-sided irregular octagon. Together with Sunder Burj this stood within a walled garden, no traces of which now remain. Major conservation works undertaken on this symmetrical structure required reconstruction of collapsed portions and other major structural repairs. Subtle muqarnas and niches adorn the half-domed arcade on each of the four facades. To the east of the tomb a Mughal-era well was discovered during conservation works and similarly conserved.
