Khirki Masjid
A 107, No 46, 46, Khirki Ext Rd, near Khirki Masjid, Panchsheel Extension, Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, Delhi 110017
Partially roofed fourteenth-century mosque with stone lattice windows and eighty-one small domes.
This guide to Khirki Masjid in Delhi traces the fourteenth-century fortress-mosque built by Khan-i-Jahan Junan Shah, prime minister to Sultan Feroz Shah Tughlaq, and the contrast between his warrior father and his own preference for stone over swords. Historical records credit him with building seven mosques across Delhi, and this one's closed roof and interior courtyards set it apart from any open-courtyard mosque you may have seen.
