Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

The prayer hall features a collection of 344 pillars supporting ten domes, with intricate carvings adorning the sandstone walls and columns.

Built in 1199 by Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the structure incorporates materials from a former Jain temple that previously occupied the site since 660 CE.

The architectural design combines Indian, Hindu, and Jain elements with Islamic features, displaying the artistic styles of medieval Indian construction methods.

The mosque contains a large ablution tank for ritual purification and remains open to visitors who wish to explore its architectural and historical elements.

The name translates to 'shed of two and a half days,' referring to a local legend about the rapid construction period of this religious structure.
