was built by Sher Shah in 1541. The hall width is 51 meters and the length is
15 meters and the center of the façade is 16.5 cm in height. The Masjid has 5 door
ways with horse shoe arches. Red, yellow sand stone with white and black marble
has been used to build and decorate the Masjid. The apparent idea was to construct
the mosque with white marble but due to shortage of material other material had
to be used.</span><br />
