Zamindar Khan Bahadur Maulvi Qazi Salamatullah Khan commissioned this six-domed brick mosque between 1858 and 1859 beside his ancestral estate, Salam Manzil. Built with lime-surki mortar, the prayer hall is crowned by six bulbous domes and flanked by tall octagonal corner minarets that rise above the surrounding palm groves. While the adjacent mansion has largely crumbled into overgrown brickwork, the mosque remains meticulously preserved as an active place of worship. A large rectangular pond beside the mosque offers reflections of the white-painted parapets.
