Kabuli Bagh Mosque

[6] A descendant of Tamerlane, Taimur Lung, built this monument as a show of victory of the Mughals over the Pathan rulers of India.

The mosque, built with bricks and stucco plaster within a compound wall, faces north.

[6] Its entry gate, built with bricks and red sandstone, has an enclosed "bracket type lintel" opening of which is shaped like a large arch; its spandrels have ornamentation, enclosed in rectangular panels provided with arched recesses.

The front face of the mosque is high and is made up of panels which have stucco work of lime plaster.

A Chabutra-i-Fateh Mubarak is a masonry platform which surrounds the mosque, which was built during the reign of Humayun to mark his victory over Salim Shah.
