Shahi Mosque, Mughal mosque in Chiniot, Pakistan.

The Shahi Mosque features three domes above the prayer hall, surrounded by perimeter shops set upon a single-story podium with four corner towers.

Nawab Saadullah Khan commissioned the construction of this mosque between 1646 and 1655 during the reign of Emperor Shah Jahan of the Mughal Empire.

The prayer chamber contains fragments of original floral and geometric patterns, displaying the refined decorative techniques employed by Mughal artisans.

The mosque maintains an ablution tank in the courtyard center for ritual purification, with separate entrances on the eastern and northern sides.

The structure combines traditional bricks measuring 8 by 3.5 by 1 inches with black streaked stone, creating distinct patterns throughout the building.
