It is also the second largest mosque in the Kashmir Valley after the Jamia Masjid, also located in Srinagar.[3] The building shows a unique synthesis between Central Asian and local traditions of wooden architecture. The mosque is based on a 4 by 5 metres (13 by 16ft) grid supported on 151 wooden columns, each 5 metres (16ft) high and 0.95 metres (3ft 1in) wide. The main hall on the ground floor measures 61.2 metres (201ft) by 20.5 metres (67ft) and consists of 75 such modules. All 151 Deodar columns are rested on carved stone pedestals with varying designs. The overall area of the mosque is 1,844 square metres (19,850sqft).[4][5]
