Suneri Mosque, Indo-Islamic mosque in Walled City, Lahore, Pakistan
The Suneri Mosque stands on an elevated platform 11 feet above the surrounding bazaar, featuring four tall minarets that reach 54 meters into the sky.
Nawab Behkari Khan, Deputy Governor of Lahore, commissioned this religious structure in 1753 during the declining period of the Mughal Empire in Punjab.
The mosque's architecture combines traditional Mughal design elements with influences from Sikh architectural styles found in neighboring Amritsar.
Sixteen steps lead visitors to the main courtyard measuring 65 by 43 feet, where a central ablution tank allows worshippers to perform ritual purification.
The mosque generates its maintenance funds through rent collected from merchants occupying shops integrated beneath the elevated prayer hall structure.
