Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra
Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra in Ajmer, Rajasthan, is one of India’s oldest mosques and the oldest surviving monument in Ajmer, built in the late 12th century by Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak after the defeat of Prithviraj Chauhan.
Originally a Sanskrit college and temple complex, it was partially destroyed and converted into a mosque, combining Hindu, Jain, and Islamic architectural elements. The mosque features a seven-arched facade added by Iltutmish, intricate carvings on pillars crafted by Hindu masons under Afghan supervision, and a blend of Indian and Islamic styles. Its name means “shed of two-and-a-half days,” based on a legend that the mosque was constructed within that time.
The structure is historically significant as an early example of Indo-Islamic architecture and remains an important cultural and tourist site.
