The works were initiated in 2017 with the Department of heritage supervising them and the State Minority Welfare Department overseeing the project.

The delays were mostly because of the delicate nature of the work involved. Again, every year we had to stop the work for a couple of months due to Ramzan when there is a huge gathering for prayers, he said.

Before starting the works, the Department of Heritage along with the firm engaged in the conservation of the mosque studied the monument for around a year and its reaction to various climates before preparing a plan.

Apart from the conservation works of the mosque, the State government also undertook the reconstruction of the ablution center and washroom.

In view of Ramzan, the carpets are also refurbished in the mosque. “All the carpets will be replaced and new ones will be provided. Arrangements for breaking the fast and Taraweeh prayers will be done, AK Khan said.
