The first explosion took place at around 5.30 pm, when devotees were preparing for 'Asar' (evening prayer) near a pond used by them for ablutions.
The second blast took place 15 minutes later.
Today being Friday and a holiday on account of Babasaheb Ambedkar's birth anniversary, a large number of people were present in the complex at the time of the explosion.
However, undeterred by the explosions, the devout went back to the mosque about one-and-half hours later to offer prayer.
