Mina Masjid, Royal mosque in Agra Fort, India

The Mina Masjid features a three-arched prayer chamber constructed entirely of white marble with a small open courtyard at its entrance point.

Shah Jahan commissioned the construction of Mina Masjid between 1631 and 1640 near Diwan-i-Khas for his personal use and royal ladies' prayers.

The mosque's design follows Islamic architectural principles with a mihrab oriented westward and incorporates marble tiles and supporting brackets for chhajja.

Visitors can access the Mina Masjid through the main entrances of Agra Fort as part of the regular tour circuit of the fort complex.

Shah Jahan continued to pray at this mosque during his imprisonment in the adjacent Musamman Burj from 1658 to 1666.
