According to a Persian inscription preserved in the village, this compact square mosque was built around 1608 (1017 Hijri) by Laskar Khan, a local commander under the Mughal governors. The structure features a single large central dome resting on squinches, thick brick walls, curved cornices in the traditional sultanate style, and delicate floral relief around the central mihrab. Now designated an ancient monument by the Department of Archaeology, it remains in active use by the village congregation. Modest attire is required.
