Although the stupa at Thul Mir Rukan has apparently no historical associations or legendry lore behind it but its importance lies in its being so well preserved. It is a solid cylindrical structure, constructed with a brick casing about 20 meters in height stands over a square base about 22meters in each side. It would appear to have been built in four tiers surmounted by a dome, each tier being smaller than that below it and separated from it by a string course of semicircular mouldings. The face of each tier is ornamented by pilasters at intervals, each having its base and ornamental capital. A number of terracotta images of Buddha and representations showing the birth scene were found in the excavations.
