It is 300 metres away from Shahi Qila fort, and 1 km from the Jama mosque. It is 2.2 km north-northeast of Jaunpur, 7.3 km northwest of Zafarābād, 16.8 km north-northeast of Mariāhū, 26.3 km west-northwest of Kirākat.[1]
William Hodges made a sketch of the mosque when he visited Jaunpur, and included it in his book Selected Views in India, Drawn on the Spot, in the Years 1780, 1781, 1782 and 1783, and Executed in Aqua Tinta.[2][3]
The entire mosque covers a square of 78.5 metres (258 ft) on each side.[4] There are three huge gateways for the entrance. The height of the mosque is more than 100 ft, and the total perimeter is 248 ft. The central dome is almost 17 meters high above the ground, but cannot be seen from the front because of the tall tower (at 23 meters).[5]
