Jhanjhari Masjid, or Jhanjhari Mosque is a mosque located in Jaunpur, in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh. Located in the Sipah area of Jaunpur on the banks of the river Gomti, the mosque was constructed in 1430 by Ibrahim Shah, the ruler of the Jaunpur Sultanate.

History

Jhanjhari Masjid 8

The mosque was commissioned by Ibrahim Shah during the reign of the Jaunpur Sultanate. It was built in honour of Hazrat Said Sadr Jahan Ajmali.

A significant portion of this mosque was demolished by Sikandar Lodi and the stones were used in construction of other monuments, most notably, the Shahi bridge. It suffered further damage by floods of the river Gomti.

Description

It consists of a towering arched gateway upon which are Arabic inscriptions in the Tughra script. An excerpt from Surah Baqara is inscribed on the two sides of the arch, and a hadith is inscribed on the base of the pointed arch.
