This heritage site was built during the Tughlaq reign and reflects the Indo-Persian architectural style. The structure is a wall mosque featuring three mihrabs; the central mihrab is triple-recessed, while the side mihrabs are double-recessed arches. The cornice of the mosque is decorated with a prominent Kangura pattern, a typical element of Islamic architecture. Within the mosque complex, there are several unknown graves, adding to its historical and cultural significance. The structure is primarily constructed using sandstone, bricks, and cement. No specific local or traditional description is associated with the site.
