Unlike the Mir-i Arab madrasa on the opposite side of the square, the mosque is an inward-facing building with no exterior windows. Even so, the inner courtyard is anything but claustrophobic. The arcaded walls are low enough that neighboring buildings are readily visible. As it is set on-axis with the Mir-i Arab madrasa, the domes of the madrasa rise over the east arcade, creating a sense of harmonious depth that draws the eye outward and upward. The graceful form of the closer--and far taller--Kalyan minaret accentuates this effect. By contrast, the interior of the courtyard is completely barren apart from a small octagonal kiosk on the west end and a solitary tree facing it to the east.
