Such an amazing historical place to visit. Also called shahi masjid.
Visit on summer evenings and your soul would be nourished. You can offer asr and then stay till maghrib.
Masjid is made out of stone which makes it cool during summers.
Lawn is good and laying there soothes soul.
During Ramadan, families visit and have iftari there.

Aesthetic mosque made entirely of stones. Remains open for prayers only during summers. The arches are preserved as they were (open) makes it really unbearable to pray during harsh winters. A must visit place.
