Mithri is the headquarter of Raisani tribe. The tomb of an unknown person was located on a raised platform and its design was based on a similar concept applied in the tomb of Shahinshah at Bhag. The tomb is octagonal in plan and raises in three tiers. Each tier is separated from the other by rectangular frames. It is slightly sloping upward. There are circular upward-sloping corner towers at each corner of the octagon. Horizontally the lower tier is higher than the upper two and divided into two parts having blind arches. The lowermost arch is higher and wider and framed on three sides. The brick masonry was finely executed showing voussoirs of arches and fine brickwork of the frames. The octagonal drum finally supports the hemispherical dome. The drum is sixteen-sided in the interior and octagonal in the exterior. Each side of the octagon has an opening for light and ventilation.
