Moorish Mosque
The Moorish Mosque in Kapurthala, Punjab, is a stunning architectural gem inspired by the Grand Mosque of Marrakesh, Morocco. Built between 1927 and 1930 by Maharaja Jagatjit Singh, the last ruler of Kapurthala, the mosque was designed by French architect Monsieur Maurice Mantout.
The mosque's design features intricate horseshoe arches, vibrant mosaic tiles, and delicate stuccowork, creating an exotic and captivating atmosphere. The mosque is not only a place of worship but also a symbol of social integration, as Maharaja Jagatjit Singh aimed to cater to his largely Muslim subjects.
The mosque is protected by the Punjab State Department of Archaeology and is considered one of the best mosques in South-East Asia.
