The mosque was constructed during the later phase of the Mughal reign and reflects the Indo-Persian architectural style. It is accessed through a recently constructed entrance, where the entrance wall features decorative brackets supporting a chhajja adorned with a kangura (battlement) pattern. This modern gateway leads to the original triple-arched gateway, which opens into the courtyard of the mosque complex. On the left side of the courtyard lies the wajukhana (ablution area). Surrounding the courtyard are several rooms, and a flight of steps leads to the main prayer chamber, which is entered through a pointed arch. The entire structure is constructed using shrouded bricks and stone, and is finished with lime plaster.
