The mosque attached to the Bara Gumbad is a kind of domestic chapel, and represents the Lodī technique in embryo.¹⁷ This technique is definitely improved in the Moth Ki Masjid, built ten years later (1505) by Miān Bhuā, the Prime Minister of Sikandar Lodī.¹⁸ Moth Ki Masjid stands on a raised platform. The gateway is faced with red sandstone ornamented with marble. The eastern angles of the enclosure are marked by domed *chhatrīs* supported on eight red stone pillars and contain traces of blue tile decoration.
