Capable of accommodating up to 60,000 worshippers, it is the second largest mosque in Pakistan, after the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan.

The Badshahi Mosque (Punjabi and Urdu: بادشاہی مسجد‎, or "Imperial Mosque") is a Mughal era mosque in Lahore, capital of the Pakistani province of Punjab.The mosque is located west of Lahore Fort along the outskirts of the Walled City of Lahore, and is widely considered to be one of Lahore's most iconic landmarks.

Badshahi Mosque was commissioned by Emperor Aurangzeb in 1671, with construction of the mosque lasting for two years until 1673. The mosque is an important example of Mughal architecture, with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay. It remains the largest and most recent of the grand imperial mosques of the Mughal-era, and is the second-largest mosque in Pakistan. After the fall of the Mughal Empire, the mosque was used as a garrison by the Sikh Empire and the British Empire, but is now one of Pakistan's most iconic sights.

Badshahi Mosque

Lahore, Pakistan.

  

Badshahi mosque was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir in 1673-1674 AD. Muzafar Hussain Sarmad, known as Fidai Khan Koka, foster brother of Aurengzeb (governor of Lahore) supervised its construction and it took 3 years to complete it. The outer expression of the mosque is bolt vast like the character of its owner. On the contrary the interior is delightful and highly refined with rich embellishments with stone carving, marble inlay and stucco tracery. Walls in their core are built in small kiln bricks laid in kankar lime mortar, while most of the exterior and domes are veneered with red sand stone and white marble from India. Variegated marble, Sang-e-Abri has been used to finish plinth and floor of the prayer chamber. Mosque is square in plan (567’-0”x567’-0”). 60,000 people can offer prayers in the mosque at a time.
