Khair-ul-Manzil, 16th-century mosque and madrasa in New Delhi, India

The mosque features red sandstone construction at its gateway while the internal structure incorporates the architectural patterns of the Delhi Sultanate period.

Maham Anga, Emperor Akbar's wet nurse and foster mother, commissioned the construction of this religious complex in 1561 near Purana Qila.

The Persian inscription on the marble plaque above the central gate contains a chronogram composed by Maulana Shihabuddin Ahmad Khan from Akbar's court.

The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this Monument of National Importance, which stands near the Delhi High Court and Pragati Maidan metro station.

In 1564, an assassination attempt on Emperor Akbar took place near this mosque when he was returning from his visit to Nizamuddin Dargah.
