Masjid Moth

This guide to Masjid Moth in Delhi opens with Sultan Sikandar Lodi handing his prime minister, Miya Bhoiya, a single grain of moth lentil around 1500, whether as a test or a prank history doesn't say. It follows what the minister chose to do with that grain over the years that followed, and how this mosque's domes and arches later shaped the nearby Jamali-Kamali mosque. Look at the three domes and the deliberate absence of minarets as you listen — restraint over height was the point of the Lodi style.
