Shahpur Mosque

The mosque structure extends fifty-nine feet in length and thirty-eight feet in width, featuring twelve central pillars that support a prominent dome.

Built in 1565 by Shaikh Husain Muhammad Chishti of the Shahpur Qazi religious order, the mosque stands as an incomplete architectural project.

The mosque incorporates Indo-Islamic architectural elements throughout its design, showcasing ornate minarets and detailed stone carvings across its facade.

The mosque maintains specific visiting hours and requires visitors to follow traditional Islamic customs, including removing shoes before entering the prayer area.

Two minarets display intricate stone tracery patterns that contrast with the structure's plain walls, while forty-four pillars support the roof system.
