The mosque, constructed during the late Mughal period, reflects Indo-Persian architectural influence. Though not much is known about its historical background, its structure suggests a modest and simple design. The mosque's façade features a central pointed arch gateway, which is enclosed within a multicusped arch. The spandrels are adorned with circular motifs, adding a decorative touch. On either side of the gateway stand minarets, each crowned with a dome. Between these minarets are ornamental Kangooras. The walls flanking the gateway include rectangular lattice work screens and are embellished with arch motifs. The building is primarily constructed using bricks and is plastered with lime mortar and cement. Iron has been used for the entrance gate.
