The mosque, built in the Late Mughal architectural style, is in good structural condition. The prayer chamber, measuring 8 meters by 2.9 meters, is covered by three bulbous domes with cresting. These domes are supported by a structure that is entered through three arched entrances. The original western Qibla wall of the mosque features three mihrab recesses, while the upper domes have small openings for ventilation. The underside of the domes is intricately decorated, adding to the mosque's aesthetic appeal. In addition to serving as a place of regular prayers, the mosque is also used as a Madarsa, which is an Islamic educational institution. Extensions made of modern materials such as concrete have been added to the mosque, though these modifications do not align with the original architectural style, as they are constructed using brick, concrete, and cement plaster. The main structural material of the mosque consists of brick masonry, which was used to construct both the foundation and the superstructure, and the entire building is coated with plaster to enhance its durability and appearance. However, the modern extensions do not retain the same historical character and architectural integrity as the original structure.
