Masjid-i-Ala, Islamic mosque in Srirangapatna, India
The Masjid-i-Ala mosque stands inside Srirangapatna Fort with two tall minarets featuring octagonal stages and turnip-shaped domes at their peaks.
Built in 1786 during Tipu Sultan's reign, the mosque served as a central religious structure until British forces captured the fort in 1799.
The mosque contains three inscriptions displaying the nine names of Muhammad and acknowledges Tipu Sultan as its constructor.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this Monument of National Importance, which includes a Madrasa providing Islamic education.
Unlike traditional mosque architecture, this structure lacks a central dome and features a clock installed during the early 1900s.
