Ek Minar Mosque, Raichur

Whilst the minaret is standing, some of the historical structures in the grounds of the mosque were demolished in 2016 to enable an adjacent road to be widened.

[1][2] According to the Persian inscription on its threshold, it was commissioned by Malik Ambar, Peshwa (Prime Minister) of the Ahmadnagar Sultanate in AH 919 (1513/1514 CE) during the reign of Mahmud Shah Bahmani.

The western wall is decorated with verses from the Quran as well as hadith, inscribed in stone slabs.

[3] It consists of two stories, each being provided with windows to let in light and air, and each having galleries girded with stone balustrades.
