Jama Masjid, Mandu, Islamic mosque in Mandu, India.

The Jama Masjid features three principal domes, fifty-four smaller domes, and decorated pillars across its prayer hall spanning 7,725 square meters.

Construction of the mosque began during Hoshang Shah's reign and reached completion under Mahmud Khilji's rule in 1454, reflecting the power of the Malwa Sultanate.

The eastern doorway inscriptions indicate the architectural influence of the Damascus Mosque, showcasing the connection between Indian and Middle Eastern religious structures.

The mosque stands on a platform elevated 4.6 meters above ground level and contains multiple entrances leading to a large courtyard surrounded by colonnaded halls.

The structure incorporates Afghan design elements within Indian architectural traditions, evident in the raised platform, marble craftsmanship, and prayer hall arches.
