Sunehri Masjid




Sunehri Masjid, built in 1721, is situated at Chandni Chowk, near the Red Fort. It was built by Roshan-ud-Daula Zafar Khan during the reign of Muhammad Shah.

Since the three domes and turrets of the mosque were coated with gold, it was given the name of Sunehri Masjid or Golden Mosque.
