| The
huge mosque with three marbles domes, which dominates lahore's
sky-line to this day, was built by Emperor Aurangzeb, son of
the other great patron of architecture, Shah Jahan. Built in
1673 AD/1084 AH, under the supervision of Fadai Khan Koka, his
foster brother, the mosque has withstood the ravages of time.
Sikh misuse and British abuse did not mar the majesty and grandeur
of this building . The most outstanding features of the mosque
are its minarets, whose proportions embody grace, strength and
which stand witness, like the index finger, to the glory of
God. |
