Dai Anga Mosque, Mosque in Naulakha neighborhood, Lahore, Pakistan.

The prayer chamber contains three compartments with a central 19-foot dome flanked by two smaller 16-foot domes adorned with blue tilework.

Built in 1635 by Dai Anga, Emperor Shah Jahan's wet nurse, the mosque transformed into a gunpowder magazine during Ranjit Singh's rule.

The mosque reflects the Indo-Islamic architectural style through its arches, decorative panels, and colored tile patterns in blue, orange, and yellow.

Located southeast of Lahore Railway Station, visitors can reach the mosque by following Nicholson Road from Qila Gujjar Singh Chowk intersection.

The structure underwent multiple transformations, including a period as the residence of Henry Cope, editor of the Lahore Chronicle newspaper.
