எனது தேசத்திற்கு எப்போதுமே ஒற்றுமை முக்கியம்!! Fatehpuri Shahi Masjid A mute witness to the travails of Dillee If Delhi is the heart of India, the historical Fatehpuri Masjid in Chandni Chowk is its heart-beat. Facing the historical seat of the Mughal power, the Red Fort, Fatehpuri is a mute witness to the unfolding drama of history right from the period of the Mughul and British rules till date. This mosque was built in 1650 by Begum Fatehpuri, wife of the Mughul Emperor Shah Jehan and hence it is named after her. It is situated on the western end of Chandni Chowk. The mosque boasts of two towering minarets on both sides besides a large dome. It has three gates: one is right in front of the Red Fort and the remaining two are in the North and south. Khari Baoli is in the north end and Katra Baryan is situated in the south of this mosque. There are parapets (kangoorahs) made of red stones on the gates of the mosque and small domes at the end. Inside, there is a big courtyard where red stones are laid.
