Habsi Gumbaz, also called Saudagar Gumbaz, is a tomb on the outskirts of Junnar in Pune district and is protected as a monument of national importance. Its date of building is unknown, but Pushkar Sohoni considers it one of the earliest works of the Nizam Shahi rulers.
The tomb is square in plan and built of dressed stone blocks bound with lime mortar, with stucco used for ornament. Each face has three large arches at ground level and five smaller ones above, and a large dome crowns the building. The way in is through the central arch on the south side, beneath an inscription that relates to Shia belief.
