Zamindar Amanullah commissioned this three-domed mosque in 1741 during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah, setting it beside a sprawling stepped water tank. Raised on a high plinth and enclosed by an outer compound wall, the building features three fluted domes crowned with lotus finials and four octagonal corner turrets. The interior preserves delicate floral stucco plastering restored under government archaeological supervision, while marble inlay adorns the central prayer niche. Visitors should dress modestly when visiting outside daily prayer times.
