Architecture
The architecture is very similar to other Qutb Shahi mosques in the city. Built on a 0.91-metre-high (3 ft) plinth, the façade of the mosque has three arched openings. The two minarets flanking the façade are heavily decorated in stucco. In addition, two small arched pavilions punctuate the parapet wall.
There is no inscription that exactly dates the construction of the mosque.[4]
