Architectural historians date this quiet village mosque to the late 16th or early 17th century, representing a transition from the Sultanate brick style to Mughal decoration. Built without mortar using lime-surki and plant adhesives, the rectangular hall carries three main domes and corner minarets. Three carved terracotta mihrabs line the western wall inside the prayer chamber. It remains an active village mosque, so avoid visiting during congregational prayer times.
