The new structure is remarkable for its harmonious proportions and elegant simplicity. It has four towers whilst two elegant towers surmounted by pillared kiosks flank the entrance. A dome shaped stand rises in the centre of the towers. Festivals are celebrated here with due solemnity by the rejoicing devotees and every year they celebrated it with great joy.

Adjacent to the Mosque there is a well-constructed masonry tank with small chambers with `meharab` designs.
