Mosque of Mariyam Zamani Begum, 17th-century Mughal mosque in Walled City, Lahore, Pakistan

The five-bay mosque features three domes, extensive frescoes, and geometric patterns adorning its brick and plaster construction near Lahore Fort's eastern walls.

Empress Mariyam Zamani, chief consort of Emperor Akbar, commissioned this mosque between 1611 and 1614 during the reign of their son Jahangir.

Persian inscriptions and Quranic verses decorate the interior walls, reflecting the religious and artistic traditions of Mughal architecture in South Asia.

Two entrance gates on the north and east sides lead to a central courtyard containing facilities for ritual ablutions before prayer.

During Sikh rule under Ranjit Singh, the religious building transformed into a gunpowder factory until its restoration to Muslims in 1850.
