Moti Masjid

After a long time I am writing this article. Sorry for that :P
I was busy in some stuff.
So here is my new trip to another mosque called Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque). Well there are many pearl mosques in sub-continent but this particular one is present in Lahore in fact in Lahore Fort. Many people don't know that. Shah Jahan built this mosque in around 17th century. He also built another Moti Masjid in the same era but that one is in Agra.


The Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, is a relatively small structure located at the western side of the fort. It is built entirely of white marble mined from the town of Makrana in contemporary Rajasthan. The mosque is one of the few buildings inside the fort that deviate from the overall north-south orientation of the complex, satisfying the liturgical requirement that the mosque's mihrab face directly towards Kaba.


Many people visit Lahore Fort but they never go to this place which is a sad thing :( . It is not a big mosque but it has great historical importance.
Many people believe that Jins(supernatural creatures) live in this abandoned mosque. May be thats was the reason I wanted to visit this mosque so much. And they also believe if you say special prayers in this mosque those Jins help you in those prayers.
