The attractions of the Jama Masjid include beautiful Indo-Saracenic architecture, a magnificent courtyard and 370 wooden pillars. Another feature of the mosque is the peace and tranquility inside it, standing out against the hustle of the old bazaars around it.

The Jamia Masjid got damaged thrice in fire and was reconstructed every time. The last restoration was carried out during the reign of then ruler, Maharaja Pratap , May 23,2007
