According to Ali Sher Qani one mosque was built by Nawab Armin Mohammad Khan in Mahalla Bhai Khan in the middle of Chauk Abdul Ghani and Malik Man. According to the author the site was originally occupied by a Hindu meeting place. According to the inscription, fixed on the outside of the mosque, it was built in I039 A.H./A.D. 1029. It is a single-domed square structure, measuring 23' 6" externally and 16' 3" internally, having an entrance door on the east. The exterior was finished with unglazed cut and rubbed red bricks alternating with blue filling in the joints. The eastern facade has three rectangular frames, the central one higher than the side ones. They had originally tiled panels which are now all gone, but two Arabic inscriptions on the side panels are intact. A single entrance on the east has a carved stone door iamb and lintel, opening under a high arch within the central frame.
