Akbarabadi Mosque, Indo-Islamic mosque in Old Delhi, India
The Akbarabadi Mosque exhibits architectural elements combining Persian design with Indian craftsmanship through its stone domes, arches, and geometric patterns.
Constructed in 1650 by Shah Jahan's wife Akbarabadi Begum, the mosque stood for two centuries before British forces demolished it following the 1857 uprising.
The mosque marked the location where Shah Abdul Qadir Dehlavi completed the first translation of the Quran from Arabic to Urdu.
Archaeological excavations in 2012 at Netaji Subhash Park revealed medieval structures that might correspond to the original mosque foundations.
Materials from the demolished mosque were purchased by Syed Ahmed Khan for constructing the Sir Syed Mosque at Aligarh Muslim University.
