Shahar ki Masjid [Bohrani] at Champaner-Pavagadh Archaeological Park
As mentioned at the entrance by Archaeological Survey of India, Shahar ki Masjid is one of the most imposing structures, constructed very close to the royal enclosure. It might be the private masjid of the sultans with five mihrabs. The main entrance is through an arched doorway flanked by two minarets. It is covered by a projecting, sloped chhajja. Two more entries on either side of the central one are flanked by jharokhas, one with stone jali. Corresponding to each arched entry is a large dome, surrounded on all its four sides by smaller domes. A rectangular abulation tank was constructed in its premises. The mosque was built in later half of 15th century.

ReplyDeleteBaking golden
through the Ages,
facing the wrath
of various greedy attackers
mindlessly grabbing,
they both stand,
The Pavagadh Hill Sati Temple
and
The Champaner Shehar-Ki-Masjid,
offering
succour and knowledge
and blessings
to enrich the minds
of its worshippers.
An prasad offering
of golden cream crackers
with a serving of peas and corn
served on a
lovely
antique
stone plate
scalloped at the edges
in celebration
of
the One who Resides
in it all.
Awesome creation, Suranga!
