Akhund Mulla Shah's Mosque, 17th-century mosque in Srinagar district, India

The mosque features a stone shell design surrounded by plane trees, with a stone lotus crowning its elevated podium near Dal Lake.

Prince Dara Shikoh commissioned this mosque in 1649 to honor his spiritual guide Akhund Mulla Shah during the Mughal Empire period.

Local communities gather at this sacred space for prayers, maintaining Islamic traditions within its stone walls and surrounding courtyard.

Visitors can combine their visit with nearby religious sites, including Makhdoom Sahib Shrine complex and Khanqah Shah-i-Hamadan within walking distance.

The sanctuary remains completely separated from the main structure through a surrounding courtyard, displaying an uncommon architectural layout.
