Architecture[edit | edit source]
The mosque and tomb are enclosed in stone walls. The entrance has two arches and two minarets. completed in the Indo-Islamic style. Its large enclosure was once adorned by seven minarets, three at the outer and two at the inner entrance, and two on the mosque itself.
