It has a square floor layout and is a one-story building. The building's four octagonal-shaped minarets and globular dome make up the construction. A circular drum serves as support for the dome, and an inverted lotus with a finial atop serves as its crown. A ribbed dome with a finial on top and petalled ornamentation at its base above the minaret. The building features a pointed arch with lateral niches. Within a rectangular frame, the niches feature multi-foliated arches. The building has undergone renovations and a whitewash.
