You are allowed to wear the footwear inside the mosque compound, but you have to remove it when entering the steps leading to the upper mosque. The inner sanctum sanctorum of the upper floor is usually closed. You can find it open during prayer times: 2PM, 5PM, 7PM, and 9PM. Visit the mosque immediately after the muezzin's call so that you can see the spectacular inner hall of Tipu's original ancient mosque.
