This mosque dates back to the late Mughal period and is associated with Khan-e-Dauran Khan Bahadur Mansur Jang, a prominent noble in the court of Emperor Farrukhsiyar. Architecturally, the mosque reflects the Indo-Persian style. It is a small structure, measuring approximately 5 meters by 3 meters, featuring a three-bay entrance with pointed arch openings framed within cusped arches. Each bay is topped with a small dome. The mosque is accessed through a courtyard from the south, and on the eastern side, steps lead down to a tahkhana (underground chamber). The interior is adorned with vibrant floral patterns, and intricately carved marble has been used for ornamentation. The structure is built using lakhori bricks and lime mortar, with a stone floor and a domed brick roof. Some later additions have been made to the building, and the entire structure is plastered with lime. There is no known local or traditional description associated with this built heritage site.
