Lal Masjid, Delhi, Mosque in Old Delhi, India
The Lal Masjid stands on a raised platform with three white and black marble domes, decorated parapets, and distinctive striped towers flanking the structure.
Built in 1729 by noblewoman Kaniz-i-Fatima to honor her husband Shujaat Khan, who served in Emperor Aurangzeb's court and underwent repairs following the 1857 siege.
The mosque combines Indian and Islamic architectural elements through its red sandstone construction, geometric patterns, and traditional ornamental designs across its surfaces.
Located in Bara Bazaar near Kashmiri Gate, the mosque occupies a platform measuring 12 meters by 7.3 meters and rises 2.5 meters above street level.
The building features three separate rooms with arched entrances, complemented by symmetrical towers that mirror the placement of rear minarets.
