A rubble-built but plastered mosque here, formerly with seven arched openings in the façade of its prayer-hall, some of which have now collapsed, is surmounted by a series of low domes in the Tughluq style. It is believed to be one of the seven mosques built by Khan-i-Jahan Junan Shah, prime minister of
Feroze Shah Tughluq.
