It is landlocked on three sides, and sits atop of sheer cliff of about 60 m (197 ft). The entrance is a stone doorway that leads into a courtyard.

Architectural highlights include pentagonal room along with a long domed corridor, and linear vaulted structures.
Global Pagoda, Gorai :-
Marve and Manori beaches are among the most picturesque beaches that Mumbai boasts of. These beaches are located at the distance of approximately 19kms from Mumbai. The sheer scenic beauty of these beaches with unspoilt sand is conspicuous with the absence of the chaotic crowd of vendors that are so common to Mumbai beaches.
You can enjoy the Sun and the Sea amidst complete silence except the music of surging waves that you would love to explore. Marve and Manori beaches are dotted with some of the finely managed exotic private cottages built on the backdrop of the vast Arabian Sea and gaping Sun, that make these beaches all the more a tempting site to visit.
