Daud Khan built this [[mosque]] in the village before it was known as Daudpur Jama Masjid, but it is now known as Purani Masjid. The Purani Masjid was the third-largest mosque by area in Kamsar. The mosque campus is spread over one-half acre. When the mosque was built in 1606, its minaret was 62 feet in height, the tallest in [[Ghazipur]] and [[Dildarnagar Kamsar|Kamsar]]. Later the minarets became weak so they were demolished and renovated in the 1890s. Now the minarets are 65 feet in height.<ref name=":1" /><ref name=":0" />
