This mosque, surrounded by a massive enclosing wall, is believed to have been added during the Khilji and Tughlaq periods, in an area where hospices, tombs, and lakes already existed. The building is an enclosed structure featuring arched designs, battlement parapets, and turrets. The main wall of the mosque faces west and is connected to a graveyard that contains seven cenotaphs. At the center of the wall, there is an arched design flanked by turrets on both sides. The wall also features a series of Kangura (crenellation) patterns. At each of the two corners of the wall, there is an arched opening turret topped with a ribbed dome. Inside the wall, the qibla (prayer direction) is marked by recessed arched designs. The entire structure is built using random rubble masonry and finished with lime plaster.
