The mosque was originally a large structure, comparable to those built by Khan Jahan during the reign of Firoz Shah Tughlaq. However, today, it is in a ruined state, marked by the accumulation of debris. The only remaining visible elements are a piece of a dressed Delhi Quartzite stone pillar and the remnants of an arch. The mosque, once substantial in size, had its bays roofed with plastered domes, supported by dressed stone pillars. The building was constructed using rubble masonry, coated with plaster, and made with local stone. The mosque?s ruins measure approximately 51 meters from north to south and 12.81 meters from east to west, indicating that it was originally a structure of considerable size. Despite its dilapidated condition, the mosque?s architecture reflects the Tughlaq style, typical of the era.
