  WAZIR KHAN MOSQUE LAHORE

          While the Mughal Empire's Shah Jahan was a significant supporter of strict design all through the Indian subcontinent, the Wazir Khan Mosque (Masjid Wazir Khan) in Lahore, Pakistan, said to be the most lovely and most elaborately enlivened Mughal-period mosque, was charged not by the Mughal sovereign but rather by his own doctor. Situated in the inward walled city of old Lahore, Pakistan, this dazzling mosque with its coated tile, faience tile work, and great octagonal minarets, is a significant piece of the Mughal time's social legacy.

      The mosque is situated around 260 meters west of the Delhi Gate, one of six leftover noteworthy entryways of Lahore's Walled City. It was appointed by Shah Jahan's doctor, Hakeem Ilam-ud-noise Ansari, otherwise called Wazir Khan. Khan would later turn into the named subedar (legislative head) of Punjab. Wazir Khan charged the mosque in 1634 to house the burial place of a regarded Sufi holy person, Miran Badshah. 
  
   Sufism is a supernatural type of Islam that spotlights on an internal quest for God and resilience. Individuals from the two primary Muslim organizations Sunni and Shi'a-may consolidate components of Sufism

   Development of the mosque started in 1635 and finished seven years after the fact. Wazir Khan Mosque is one of the most lovely building landmarks in Lahore city, with five compartments beat by a vault and opening onto an extensive patio. This plan was first executed in Lahore in the Wazir Khan Mosque, and later adjusted in the development of Badshahi Mosque, situated before Lahore Fort.

   While the mosques you'll find in Agra and Delhi are made of stone, Wazir Khan Mosque was worked from blocks, the favored structure material in Punjab. The east primary entry has a curved gateway with ornamental components.

                                                        

   
   Its inside dividers are canvassed in exquisite mosaic work, Arabic calligraphy of Qur'anic refrains and Persian verse, adorned with vivid coated tile and lime mortar. The tile work configuration is called faience.

  Its great mix of calligraphy, mathematical structures and botanical design loans a one of a kind aspect to the structure's construction, and makes the Wazir Khan Mosque stand apart as a paragon of excellence, equilibrium and pretentiousness
