The mosque is typical of the mountainous region of Central Asia, it has two rooms and a porch in front. Two rows of high carved columns are placed on the porch. The ceiling is decorated in a traditional manner, the beams and beams are beautifully painted (with flowers), they rest on 4 columns in the small room and 5 columns in the large room. A small room is very tall. Its old wall is thick, and later a large room and common hall were added to it. The years 1519-20, 1562-63, 1748 and 1807-08 (dates of construction and renovation) were preserved in the decorative inscriptions inside the altar. The impressiveness of the decoration of the big room is in the flowers on the tiles. The decorations on the altar and wall are well preserved. Yellow and orange tile pieces are glued to the black ground on the lines of Izora, with blue, orange and white borders.
