Goharshad Mosque (Persian: مسجد گوهرشاد) is a former free standing mosque in Mashhad of the Razavi Khorasan Province, Iran, which now serves as one of the prayer halls within the Imam Reza shrine complex.
It was built by the order of Empress Goharshad, the wife of Shah Rukh of the Timurid Dynasty in 1418 CE. The architect of the edifice was Ghavameddin Shirazi, who is responsible for so many of Shah Rukh's great buildings, with the architectural and decorative manpower supplied from Shiraz and Isfahan.
The mosque underwent some renovations during the Safavid and Qajar eras. It has four iwans and a courtyard measuring 50 m × 55 m (164 ft × 180 ft), as well as several shabestans.
The double layered dome of the mosque was severely damaged in 1911 in bombings by troops of the Russian Empire.

A mosque alongside the road. There are so many many religious buildings everywhere, mostly Hindu, but also Muslim, Christian and for Buddists.
Most of all colorful buildings in India have a religious purpose.
From the top of my hotel parking, evening view is amazing. There is a mosque like every 1 km. And that makes devine and beautiful urban scape.
I believe this mosque was built in the early 20'th century. Even though there are several much older mosques in the city, this one, according to my guidebook written in 2001, had the largest congregation in Prishtina, though that might not be true any more what with all the fancy new Saudi mosques which have gone up in recent years and the restoration of older ones damaged during the 1990's terror.
I visited the mosque in between praying times and it was also early in the day. So there aren't that many people. I think the mosque would be at it's busiest during the fifth prayer each night during Ramadan. I'll have to come to this mosque during Ramadan to see what it is like.

This is a beautiful little mosque about 6 or 7 blocks from my work. This was my last set of shots the morning I took the pictures of the creek and such. I had spent so much time I was hoofing it to get to work on time, but I had to stop long enough to get these pictures. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and the light was perfect.

This mosque surprisingly appears from the middle of the terraces of Harehills.
The mosque follows the roofline of the terrace it is built into, it uses the original tiles (by the looks of it) to blend in really well.
