CENTER FOR ART AND ARCHAEOLOGY

The Jama Masjid is situated in the middle of the town. The mosque was erected in AD 1531 in Humayun?s time as inferred from the inscription under the pulpit stairs. Outside, over the south arch is another inscription of the time of Aurnagzeb, AD 1667-1668, stating that the mosque was built by Khwaja Rahmat Ullah by order of the Emperor in the tenth year of his reign. But there are two Arabic inscriptions which tend to show that a mosque existed here even before the reign of Humayun. Currently the mosque is in reuse as a Gurudvara but the structure has remained unaltered despite its current religious status.
