Khanqah-e-Moula, Islamic shrine at Jhelum River bank, Srinagar, India.

The square-plan wooden mosque features double-arcaded verandahs, pyramidal roofs, and an open pavilion topped with a spire at its summit.

Sultan Sikander constructed the shrine in 1395 to honor Mir Syed Ali Hamdan, with subsequent reconstructions in 1493 and 1731 following fire damage.

The shrine incorporates Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic architectural elements, displaying the refined woodwork techniques of Kashmiri craftsmen through centuries.

Visitors must remove shoes before entering the shrine and wear appropriate clothing that covers shoulders, arms, and legs as per Islamic customs.

The structure contains materials from ancient temples, and sections of its roof display seasonal plant growth throughout different times of the year.
