Shaikh Isa Langoti came from Burhanpur in M.P. India, and settled here and established a Madrassah. He was a contemporary of Shaikh Hamad Jamali, the fourteenth century famous saint of Makli and teacher of Allama Niamatullah Abbasi. The building is exclusively resting on pillars, four simple square pillars on each side of the square, placed equidistant and covered by a four-armed plain bracket with only outlined volutes on the lower side of the arms. Inter-space between the pillars is closed by a curtain wall; built of dry ashlar stone slabs. with two entrances through the porch and a light-and-air fretted screen at each corner just a hove the ground level.
