Dilawar Khan's Mosque




The earliest Indo–Islamic building at Mandu, Dilawar Khan’s Mosque was built in 1405, during the reign of Dilawar Khan Ghuri. He was the first known Muslim ruler of Mandu. It consists of a central entrance oriented east, a prayer room, and corridors on three sides. The pillars and the ceiling of the room testify that this mosque was built by Hindu workmen.
