DESCRIPTION
The Zinat Al-Masajid Mosque, by Thomas Longcroft (1780-1811), 1793. The mosque was built by Aurangzeb's daughter Zinat al- Nisa Begum (d.1710), a pious and learned lady, and she lies buried there. In Longcroft's view the city wall with it's towers recedes north along the river Yamuna, leading to the Asad Burj of the Red Fort. The crenellated wall stretching out from the city wall enclosed the garden of a haveli that once belonged to Sa'adatallah Kahn but but in the nineteenth century belonged to Nawab Ahmad Bakhsh Khan of Firozepur.
