The site under discussion is associated with Shah Ghulam Ali, a disciple of the saint Maghar-i-Jaryanan, who was buried here in 1781 A.D. Shah Ghulam Ali himself was interred at this location in 1824 A.D. The mosque reflects an Indo-Persian architectural style, characterized by its distinctive features. The structure is roofed with three bulbous domes adorned with ribbed patterns and inverted lotus crestings. Small minarets embellish all four corners, adding to its grandeur. The arched fa?ade includes alcoved niches on the frontal wall, enhancing its aesthetic appeal. A battlemented parapet further accentuates the mosque?s architectural significance. The construction materials include brick walls plastered with cement, a stone flooring, and the use of red sandstone for the fa?ade and cornice. These elements combine to create a visually striking and durable structure, representing the architectural finesse of the Indo-Persian style.
