The mosque, located in close proximity to Rajaon Ki Baoli, adds to the historical richness of the entire complex and its surroundings. It continues to serve its religious function, hosting regular prayers, important ceremonies, and madarsa activities. Architecturally, the mosque represents the Mughal style. It stands within a vast enclosed area and features five entrances opening into a large open courtyard. The north and south sides of the courtyard are defined by return walls. The structure comprises three compartments — the central one topped with a bulbous dome adorned with an inverted lotus crest, while the side compartments have vaulted roofs. Originally, the return wall on the northern side had a compartment, which collapsed over time but has since been reconstructed. The wall is decorated with kangura-patterned battlements. An arcade runs along the northern boundary of the enclosure, with a central gateway that provides access. The mosque is constructed using rubble masonry, finished with plaster, and includes some modern alterations and additions using contemporary building materials.
