the Beautiful Badshahi Mosque, Lahore - Pakistan

in hive-144064 •  3 years ago 

The Badshahi Mosque (Punjabi, Urdu: بادشاھی مسجد), or the ‘Emperor’s Mosque, in Lahore, is the second-largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world. It is Lahore’s most famous landmark and a major tourist attraction epitomizing the beauty, passion, and grandeur of the Mughal era.

Capable of accommodating 10,000 worshippers in its main prayer hall and 100,000 in its courtyard and porticoes, it remained the largest mosque in the world from 1673 to 1986 (a period of 313 years), when overtaken in size by the completion of the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad. Today, it remains the second largest mosque in Pakistan and South Asia and the fifth largest mosque in the world after the Masjid al-Haram (Grand Mosque) of Macca, the Al-Masjid al-Nabawi (Prophet’s Mosque) in Madina, the Hassan II Mosque in Casablanca, and the Faisal Mosque in Islamabad.

Let's have some glorious pictures of the Beautiful Badshahi Mosque:
