An excellent place if you ask me about it though I didnt know that we pray on the first floor not on the ground floor but it seems like we are on the ground floor whenever we enter this magnificent and historical mosque.
A historical place and Muslim prayer mosque. The most amazing thing that I experience is the weather difference. Outside it was very hot but inside the mosque I wasnt even feeling hot at all. Maybe it happened because the mosque is built with clay like material. I enjoyed playing and staying their for an hour or so.

The spacious prayer place before the main mosque is open in all directions allowing air to flow and keep the Musullis cool. The mosque is owned by the Government as an archeological site and is being supervised by the Department of Archeology under Ministry of Cultural affairs. Thought there is lack of sincerity and transparency in the government intervention. We should take care of this historical mosque.
