Mahabat Khan Mosque is a stunning example of Mughal architecture, built in the 17th century during the reign of Shah Jahan. Its facade is adorned with intricate blue and white tile work, while the large courtyard can accommodate thousands of worshippers. Inside, the prayer hall features three domes and elegant arches. The mosque remains an active place of worship, so visitors should dress modestly and remove shoes before entering.
