History

The mosque is said to have been built in 1635 (1045 AH). It is widely believed to have been founded by Dai Anga herself before she set out on the pilgrimage to Mecca, while other accounts describe it as built in her honour. An inscription in the mosque, however, bears the date 1649 (1060 AH), which differs from the traditional date of construction.
