Lal Darwaza Masjid, Jaunpur, Islamic mosque in Begumganj, Jaunpur, India.
The Lal Darwaza Masjid spans 212 by 188 square feet and features three gateways leading to a central courtyard for gatherings and prayers.
Queen Rajye Bibi commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1447 during the Sharqi dynasty, using materials transported from demolished temples in Varanasi.
Sanskrit and Pali inscriptions on two pillars within the mosque record the names of historical kings from Kannauj and their corresponding dates.
The mosque stands 3 kilometers from Jaunpur Junction railway station and 50 kilometers from Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport, with local transport readily available.
The vermilion-painted entrance gate, which gives the mosque its name Lal Darwaza, leads to an educational institution called Jamia Hussainia established by the queen.
