The mosque is a remarkable example of Mughal architecture, constructed using rubble masonry with plaster. Measuring approximately 11.55 meters by 3.93 meters, the mosque comprises three compartments and a forecourt, all covered with vaulted ceilings. The eastern façade features three pointed arched openings, above which runs a red sandstone chajja supported by intricately carved stone brackets. Access to the flat roof is provided by a flight of steps on the southern end. Adjacent to the staircase, on the south side between it and the prayer chamber, lies a small flat-roofed chamber, likely meant for the Mulla (prayer leader) of the mosque. The building materials include random rubble masonry with plaster, red sandstone, and locally sourced grey stone. Regular prayers and important religious ceremonies continue to be held at the mosque, reflecting its active spiritual significance in the community.
