Malik Kafur constructed this mosque in 1483 during the reign of Sultan Jalaluddin Fateh Shah near the shrine of the Sufi saint Baba Adam Shahid. The rectangular building has six low brick domes supported by stone pillars and walls lined with delicate terracotta floral carvings. An inscription tablet set above the central entrance documents its Sultanate origins. Visit in the morning when sunlight catches the carved brick facade.
