This mosque has two porches, the north porch, which is built with a height of eight meters, and the south porch, which has no special use, was created to compare with the north porch. The arch on the south side of the porch has lost its symmetry due to the presence of two doors, one of which leads to the small room and the other leads to the garlands.
