The mosque, built in the Late Mughal architectural style, is in good structural condition and continues to serve as a place of worship where regular prayers and important religious ceremonies are held. The prayer chamber measures approximately 8 meters by 2.9 meters and is topped with three bulbous domes featuring decorative cresting. It is accessed through three arched entrances. The original western Qibla wall includes three mihrab recesses, and the domes have small openings that allow access to the interior. The underside of the domes is beautifully decorated. The mosque also functions as a Madarsa (Islamic school), and over time, modern concrete extensions have been added, which do not conform to the original design. The main materials used in the construction are brick masonry for both the foundation and superstructure, coated with plaster. Subsequent modifications and extensions have been made using modern bricks, concrete, and cement plaster. There is no significant historical information available about the mosque.
