Pathar Masjid, Stone mosque in Srinagar, India

The Pathar Masjid stretches 180 feet in length and 51 feet in width, featuring nine arches with the central one larger than others.

Mughal Empress Noor Jehan commissioned the construction of this limestone mosque in 1623 for the Shi'a Muslim community of Srinagar.

Religious leaders declared the mosque unfit for prayers after its completion due to a perceived disrespectful comment about construction costs.

The mosque stands on the left bank of River Jhelum, opposite to Khanqah-e-Moula shrine, approximately 6 kilometers from Srinagar city center.

Unlike other Kashmiri mosques, Pathar Masjid incorporates twenty-seven domes with internal ribbing and decorative lotus leaf ventilation systems.
