Elephant Stables is a long, lofty and dignified building lying to the north of the Zenana enclosure. It has eleven large chambers with beautiful arched entrances. The domical ceilings of the chambers have lotus motifs, and the four cardinal corners of the ceiling at the base of the dome are provided with pointed, arched squinches.
The domes over the roof are of different types -circular, ribbed ones and vaulted octagonal ones with ribbed shikharas - and are arranged systematically on either side of the central chamber. However, the central chamber differs in that it has a square, turret-like superstructure over a flat ceiling and consists of, slender columnettes forming foliated arch openings with a parapet above.
