This lavishly decorated mosque marks the phase of transition in Islamic art, by using various indigenous architectural elements with efficacy. The façade composition of the building comprises of pillared Dalan, with beautiful Chhajja supporting on brackets and the 'Chhatri' on the roof, making an impressive skyline. The main Iwan of the building is rather simple and contains a central arch, which is framed with the panels containing geometrical designs.The Iwan contain three arched openings, which are also framed by panels, and contains fringes .The Iwan is crowned with five Chhatris, which adds to its elegant elevation.
The central 'Mihrab' is most gorgeously ornamented with inlaid mosaic of stones and glazed tiles on the borders .It contains carved inscriptions, which are painted in blue and golden colour combination. The other Mihrabs are also beautifully painted. The whole interior of the Iwan has been painted in stylized floral designs. These paintings are simply watercolour painting applied directly on stone surface.01 - The view.jpg
