Malik Mughith's Mosque
मलिक मुगीथ मस्जिद
An early mosque completed in 1432 that reuses many stone pillars from Hindu temples, showing the transition between architectural styles.
The mosque was built in 1432 by Malik Mughith, a minister to Hoshang Shah. Many of the columns in its porch and inner courtyard were taken from older Hindu and Jain temples, and their carvings are still visible. Remnants of blue glazed tiles survive on the portal facade. Opposite stand the ruins of a caravanserai, and nearby are Dai ka Mahal and Echo Point. Located on the main road heading south, it sees few visitors and suits anyone who loves architectural detail.
