It is the earliest surviving example of the brick-and-stone style introduced by the Muslims in Bengal in place of the traditional Hindu style of laying rectangular cut stones one upon another without mortar.[citation needed] The stones used in the mosque were originally materials from temples, as evidenced by figures of Hindu deities carved on some pieces.[citation needed] The original structure has suffered reconstruction a number of times.[citation needed]
