Moti Masjid or Pearl Mosque

It was built for private prayer by Mughal emperor, Bahadur Shah I (r. 1707-1712) close to the dargah of Sufi saint, Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki at Mehrauli.
















Moti Masjid's are there in Lahore, Karachi, Delhi and Agra.


The one in Mehrauli is a miniature replica of the one in Delhi's Red Fort.
