Jamia Mosque, Kalhora period mosque in Khudabad, Pakistan

The Jamia Mosque contains a large central courtyard surrounded by prayer halls and features a grand entrance arch with a semi-circular staircase on its eastern side.

Constructed between 1700 and 1718 during Yar Muhammad Kalhoro's reign, the mosque served as both a religious center and military training facility in the former capital.

The mosque walls display geometric patterns, floral designs, and arabesque decorations that reflect the architectural techniques of the Kalhora dynasty in Sindh.

The structure requires preservation efforts due to substantial damage from the 1994 rains, which caused the collapse of one main dome and affected other sections.

Digital documentation by LUMS students in 2015 created detailed scans of the remaining kashi tile work and fresco paintings for future restoration projects.
