AT

BHOPAL





The literal meaning of Taj-ul-Masjid is ‘The Crown of Mosques’ and it is located in Bhopal, the capital city of Madhya Pradesh. Claimed to be the one of the tallest mosques in Asia, this mosque was initially built during the Nawab Shah Jahan Begum (1844–1860 and 1868–1901) of Bhopal.

It was still incomplete at the time of her death in 1901, after funds had been diverted to other projects, and construction did not resume until 1971. Fortress-like terracotta walls surround three gleaming white onion domes and a pair of towering pink minarets. The mosque was given final touch in 1985.

The entrance gate is planned with ancient designs taken from approximately 1250 Syrian mosques. The pink facade of the mosque is topped by 18-storey high octagonal minarets brought out with marble domes.

The double-storeyed gateway is attached with four recessed archways and nine cusped multiple openings to the main prayer hall. The Quibla wall is engraved with eleven arches and has exclusive screens of trellis work.

It has a courtyard with a large tank in the center. It has a double-storeyed gateway with four recessed archways and nine cusped multifold openings in the main prayer hall.

The mosque also has three huge bulbous domes, an impressive main hallway with attractive pillars and marble flooring resembling Mughal architecture the likes of Jama Masjid in Delhi and the huge Badshahi Mosque of Lahore.

There are 27 ceilings by arches supported by monolithic pillars; many of the ceiling arches have ornate petals that make them impressive. Yet another feature that may be worth mentioning is the presence of a separate prayer hall for women. The annual three-day Ijtima congregation held here is quite famous and attracts people from all over the country.
