Shahi Eid Gah Mosque

The Shahi Eid Gah Mosque is an Indo-Islamic mosque in Multan with walls of red brick decorated with geometric patterns and multiple domes that create its distinctive silhouette. The layout includes a large courtyard for prayer and separate areas for ablution and preparation before worship.

Built in 1735, the mosque was constructed during an era when Persian, Islamic, and South Asian building techniques merged together. It stands as an example of the architectural innovation that flourished in the region during the 18th century.

The mosque serves as a gathering place for the community, especially during Eid celebrations when thousands of worshippers come together. You can observe daily religious practices and witness how people use the space for prayer and reflection.

You can enter through the main entrance on the eastern side, where areas for ablution are clearly marked. Remember to remove your shoes and follow the dress code before stepping into the prayer areas.

The spacious courtyard can hold more than ten thousand worshippers at once, making it one of the largest prayer grounds in the city. This remarkable size allows entire families and neighborhoods to gather and pray together during major holidays.
