The dome is entirely made up of Adobe brick, with necessary concrete bands. Dome sits on square base with the dimension of 6M X 6M. Dome is 1M high with diameter of 6M. The final finishing of the dome and the walls are out of lime plaster and fresco paintings. Attached with the dome, is the bathing space, which is inspired by the local stone construction.
