DESCRIPTION

Zeenat-ul Masjid also commonly known as Ghata Masjid (cloud mosque) was built in the year 1707 AD by Zinat-ul-Nissa, Aurangzeb's second daughter, and is located in Daryaganj, Delhi.

A few years after the siege of Delhi in 1857, the Hindustan British Government gave the charge of this mosque to Anjuman Muayyed-ul-Islam for its maintenance and protection, later it was taken over by the Sunni Majlis-E-Awakf.

The mosque is like a miniature version of Jama Masjid and remains in acceptable condition even today.

MUGHAL IMAGES

The Mughal Images immediately took a much greater interest in realistic portraiture than was typical of Persian miniatures. Animals and plants were the main subject of many miniatures for albums and were more realistically depicted. To upload your images click here.
