It is a monument that one can not miss because it is located at the busy Mathura Road crossing. Sabz Burj means Green Dome. However, the dome is predominantly blue. Actually, it was green initially, but as a part of restoration work, the dome has become blue. And, for this reason, it is also known as Neeli Chattri. However, the monument is striking and deserves a place of its own.
