The initial square layout of the main prayer hall has been
covered with an expanse overspill area, marked by a series of pointed arches on
Corinthian columns. The covered area has also included the ablution area and
other service areas. On the roof structure, only the main roof eaves and
pinnacle have been restored with the use of new roof tiles and clerestory
windows.
The four main posts also stand in the middle of the main prayer
hall. but had been replaced with concrete columns instead. On the front gibla
wall, a spacious mihrab area has been provided with an Imam's spot and access
to the Imam's room. A half portion ofthe space on the right has been equipped
with an elevated platform, where a timber rostrum is used as a mimbar.
