Shah Jahan Mosque, Mughal mosque in Thatta, Pakistan
The Shah Jahan Mosque features 93 domes and complex geometric patterns made from blue and white tiles covering its entire architectural structure.
Emperor Shah Jahan commissioned this mosque between 1644 and 1647 as gratitude to the Sindhi people for providing refuge during his conflict with Emperor Jahangir.
The mosque combines Timurid, Persian, and local Sindhi architectural elements through its extensive tilework, geometric patterns, and structural design without minarets.
Located in the Sindh province, the mosque maintains regular prayer times and receives visitors who can explore its central courtyard surrounded by decorated arcades.
The acoustic design enables sound to travel clearly across the domes, allowing communication throughout the structure without any amplification system.
