Mina Mosque

The Mina Mosque, also known as the Heavenly Mosque, is a Sunni mosque, situated near Diwan-i-Khas in the Agra Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, located in Agra, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The mosque was built, entirely of white marble, by Shah Jahan, a Mughal leader, in 1631-1640 CE, for his personal use.
The mosque is a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India.

Architecture

It has a small open court in front of the three-arched prayer-chamber. There is no ornamentation and it is simple. It is enclosed and secured on all sides by high walls and, it appears that, Shah Jahan used this mosque during his imprisonment in the adjoining apartment of Musamman Burj, also called shah-burj, from 1658 to 1666 CE.
