History of Badshahi Mosque The construction of the mosque was started in 1671 under the prosperous and blooming dominion of the sixth Mughal Emperor Muhi-ud-Din Muhammad commonly known by the name of Aurangzeb. The Badshahi Mosque took only two years to be completed under the supervision of Fida’i Khan Koka who was Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb’s brother-in-law and the governor of Lahore. The mosque is heavily influenced by the Persian architectural style and Aurangzeb specifically followed the style of Shah Jehan’s Jama Masjid in Delhi. The common trait of both mosques is the red sandstone with white marble inlay. The entrance of the mosque further exudes its nobility and elegance. The Badshahi Mosque full name "Masjid Abul Zafar Muhy-ud-Din Mohammad Alamgir Badshah Ghazi" is written in inlaid marble above the vaulted entrance. The glorious gate itself is very interesting as it contains several chambers that are not accessible by the general public, interestingly enough one of the rooms is said to contain the hairs of Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and that of his son-in-law Ali. This is also considered to be one of the reasons for its construction. As you pass through the entrance you set foot in an expansive sandstone paved courtyard spreading over an area of 276,000 square feet which can accommodate up to 100,000 worshippers. The prayer chamber has a focal angled niche with five niches flanking it which is around 33% the size of the focal niche. The mosque has three marble vaults, the biggest of which is situated in the middle point of the mosque, and which is flanked by two smaller arches.
