Overview

It was built during the reign of Qutb Shahi period in the 17th century by Mian Mishk, a noble of Abdullah Qutb Shah, the sixth king of Golconda. It has a ''garam hamam'', which offers a hot bath, complying with the Islamic principle of hygiene and purification. It is among the 137 heritage list of Hyderabad Urban Development Authority, but is not part of Archaeological Survey of India. Since 2018, there were numerous media reports that the former mosque was in a neglected and ruinous state. An inscription over the western gateway dates the mosque from 1674.
