The Djingareyber Mosque, which was constructed of mud and tuff stone, was in disrepair when it was first discovered by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture (AKTC) in early 2007. A comprehensive topography and architectural survey served as the foundation for a damage assessment. Due to water intrusion in the roofing, it became apparent that the building’s structural integrity was poor, notably the roof and wall-bearing systems. This happened as a result of poor slopes, the build up of earth fill, and the poor quality of local mud plasters brought on by the reduction in knowledge of traditional crafts.

The mosque includes two minarets, twenty-five rows of pillars aligned east-west, three interior courts, and enough room for 2,000 people to pray.
