History
editThe mosque is located to south-west of Dastur Khan's Mosque near the Jamalpur gate. It was built by Haibat Khan (also known as Masti Khan), one of Ahmed Shah I's nobles and paternal uncle, in 1412 AD.
Architecture
editThough of little beauty, the mosque is one of the earliest attempts to combine Indo-Islamic architecture. The front wall is plain, pierced by three small pointed arches; the minarets, small and without ornament, rise from the roof; and, with a dwarfed and unlighted clerestory, the centre is barely raised above the side domes. Inside, in the centre, is a dome with beautiful carvings with variety of rich ornament.[2][3][4][5][6]
