As per the Archeological Survey of India, the mosque was probably build during the reign of Sikandar Lodi(1489-1517). By reading the inscription over its central Archway we come to realize that it must be built in the year 1505-06 AD. by Kasumbhil, nurse of Fatah Khan, son of Khan-i-Azam Masnad 'Ali Khawas Khan' . then governor of Delhi.
