Hayat Bakshi Mosque, Indo-Islamic mosque in Hayathnagar, Hyderabad, India.
The mosque features five prominent arches on its facade, accompanied by two minarets and twelve-sided arcaded galleries at the corners.
Built in 1672 during Abdullah Qutb Shah's reign, the mosque received its name from Hayat Bakshi Begum, the influential Queen Mother of Golconda.
The prayer hall rises on an elevated platform, with an ablution tank positioned on the eastern side for ritual cleansing before prayers.
The mosque complex includes a substantial caravanserai containing 130 rooms, spanning across five acres of land near the Hathi Bawli well.
Each of the five domes atop the mosque displays different architectural patterns, demonstrating the varied craftsmanship of 17th-century builders.
