| Description of Building/ Structure/Site
इमारत/संरचना/स्थल का विवरण |
The plinth of wall mosque is approx. 15 m by 25 m and is 1.5 m in height. It is constructed of rubble masonry plastered and has arched cells on the wall. The enclosed courtyard of the plinth has the trace of rubble ruins of the original structure. It is apparent that it was originally a large mosque. There are also traces of a mutilated gateway on the east, but thick vegetation deters further close inspection. On all four corners, there are octagonal towers up to plinth level. The internal courtyard of the plinth has dense vegetation. |
