This monument, an important landmark in Bhopal, features a main hallway with attractive pillars, marble flooring and a spacious courtyard with a large tank. Within the prayer hall, the Quibla wall is carved with 11 recessed arches. The massive pillars in the main hall create 27 ceilings, 16 of these are decorated with ornate designs.
