Adhai-din-ka-Jhonpra

This mosque was a sanskrit college in 12 th century. In 1193 AD Mohammed Ghori destroyed the college and a mosque was built in its place by adding seven arched wall in front of the pillared hall in just two and a half days. And surprisingly not two pillars are alike. This monument is the finest example of Indo-Islamic architecture.
