Constructed began in 1924. Officially called Masjid-i Osmania, it is located just past the crenellated gate of the Bagh-i Aam or the Public Gardens. It is a reinforced cement concrete (RCC) construction, an innovation of the time. There are two large Niyaz khanas on either sides of the mosques for cooking and feeding the public on special religious occasions.
