Shaheed Ganj Mosque, Historical mosque in Lahore, Pakistan
The Shaheed Ganj Mosque features high minarets, large domes, and elaborate tile work that exemplifies traditional Mughal architectural elements.
Built in 1653, the mosque underwent a transformation into a Sikh military base in 1762 after their conquest of Lahore.
The mosque holds regular community gatherings and educational programs focusing on Islamic teachings while serving as a central meeting point for locals.
Visitors can photograph specific areas of the mosque but need to maintain distance from prayer areas and respect religious ceremonies.
The structure became the center of a legal dispute in 1935 when Sikhs demolished the building at night, leading to widespread protests.
