The mosque is built in the Mughal architectural style and is characterized as a wall mosque with a rectangular layout and a spacious forecourt. The western Qibla wall features seven mihrab recesses, each approximately 2.5 meters in height, flanked by decorative arched niches and topped with a projecting moulding along the upper edge. Over time, the mosque’s enclosure has been significantly extended and modified. The extended area is covered with a tin shade supported by pillars. Zafar Hasan refers to it as a "big wall mosque." Constructed using rubble masonry, the structure is coated with plaster. Regular prayers and significant religious ceremonies continue to be held at the mosque, although there is no detailed historical information available about its origin.
