Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

Adhai Din ka Jhonpra is one of India's most important Islamic monuments — a 12th-century mosque built in just two and a half days (adhai din) by Muhammad of Ghor's commander, using the stones of demolished Hindu and Jain temples. Its remarkable calligraphic carvings, seven-arched screen, and Indo-Islamic architectural fusion make it an extraordinary heritage site. Just behind the Dargah Sharif in Ajmer, it is an essential stop for architectural historians and heritage travellers in Rajasthan.
