According toward the legend, one day Sikandar Lodi gave a grain of moth (a type of lentil) to his loyal minister Miyan Bhuwa as a recompense for fun. The amusing minister planted the seed cautiously years after years awaiting it multiplied so a lot of times so as to it could finally finance the building of the mosque. He after that went to the supreme ruler to ask his consent to build the mosque.
The king was quite frightened. He then laid the foundation of Moth ki Masjid himself, which was built in compliance to the Indo-Islamic style of structural design. The mosque is small as well as simple and is deprived of any minarets or any profuse calligraphic decorations as well as accompaniments so as to be part of the customary mosques.
On the other hand, it symbols the revitalization of architectural movement throughout the time of the Lodi family. The four-sided figure red stonework arrangement has a small semicircular dome as well as latticework screens in its windows.
