Masjid Mubarak Begum, 19th century mosque in Hauz Qazi, Old Delhi, India.

The red sandstone mosque stands with three domes featuring red and white stripes, supported by arched entrances beneath each dome.

Built in 1823 by Mubarak Begum, a former dancer who became the wife of David Ochterlony, the first British resident of Delhi.

The mosque represents one of three religious structures constructed by women during medieval India, demonstrating female patronage in architecture.

The mosque contains two levels with an upper prayer chamber divided into three domed sections and shops on the ground floor.

The marble inscription above the central arch declares the mosque superior to the arched sky and names it a second Jerusalem.
