The mosque building is entered through seven compartments. The western Qibla wall has seven mihrab recesses and small decorative niches all along the facade. The central mihrab is emphasized by raising the wall and flanking minarets. There must have been a chajja of which no trace is visible. The wall is crowned with kangura motif. On its north is a small flat roofed chamber probably intended for the Mulla of the mosque. |
