SindhMosqueProtected
The site covers an area of about one square km, where a number of significant buildings exist. A Grand Mosque built of bricks and plastered with lime. It contains a large prayer chamber surmounted by three domes, the interior of which is ornamented with floral designs. The central dome is comparatively bigger. There are three arches in the western wall near the mimber. These are adorned with floral designed tiles. The eastern wall contains three doors while one door each is provided on the northern and southern sides. Kalima Tayyebah has been inscribed in elegant Naskh above each door. There is another mosque about 12 km from this Grand Mosque with a prayer chamber only. The interior decoration resembles the former. Nothing else noteworthy has survived. A single domed tomb plastered with lime at the site is lavishly decorated from the interior with floral designs resembling with the decoration of the Grand Mosque. The monuments probably belong to the Talpur rule in Sindh.
