[edit]The exact date of the construction mosque is unclear. Based on its Mughal style, it is believed to have been constructed during the Mughal era.[4] As of 2024[update], some locals estimated that the mosque was over 500 years old.[5]
The mosque can accommodate a single row for prayers, of approximately 14-15 worshipers; and hence its name.[6] The mosque has three domes; and bricks and lime-surki were used in its construction.
