This mosque, constructed during the Later Mughal period, showcases the Indo-Persian architectural style. The facade of the mosque is striking, featuring engrailed arched openings that add to its grandeur. A prominent bulbous dome adorns the structure, designed with an inverted lotus motif, and crowned by a pinnacle shaped like a water vase. On both sides of the central dome are compartments with arched openings, enhancing the mosque's symmetry. The parapet is decorated with arcaded designs, and the dome is flanked by turrets topped with lantern-style cresting. The mosque is built primarily using bricks and cement, while modern tiles have been used for decorative purposes.
