History

The sacred complex features stunning architecture and is a comprehensive reflection of Indo-Saracenic form of architecture. Set on a 75 m long and 66 m wide rectangular courtyard, it has three entrances. While the prayer hall occupies one side of the mosque the rest of the three sides are lined with a colonnade.Evenly spaced columns adorned with beautiful Arabic calligraphy and the interiors ornamented with Indo-Saracenic motifs add charm to the imposing mosque. Another noteworthy feature is the well decorated Qibla or the wall of the prayer hall.A splendid archway greets its visitor to witness the splendour of the ancient mosque. Lower parts of the two minarets or the shaking minarets that were demolished due to the 1819 earthquake can be found at the entrance.The rectangular prayer hall with around 260 impressive columns is topped with fifteen imposing domes. Square bays are formed by the space between four pillars supported by a dome that is used to perform Namaz.Built in yellow sandstone as several other historical monuments in the city, light enters the sacred complex through its domes. Jalis or the pierced stone screens are located between the two pillars of the central openings.
