Rajgan Mosque, Brick mosque in Khanpur, Pakistan.

The Rajgan Mosque features four corner minarets with a central dome-shaped minaret and a prayer hall that can accommodate 1000 worshippers.

Raja Sultan Jehandad Khan commissioned the construction of this religious structure in 1872, bringing architects from Delhi to design the building.

The mosque incorporates architectural elements similar to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, displaying a combination of Indian and Islamic design principles.

Located 50 kilometers from Islamabad, the mosque experiences rising water levels from July to September due to its position near Khanpur Lake.

The building's boundary walls contain black stones that originate either from India or the ancient city of Taxila, sparking ongoing discussions.
