Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra

Tour the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra and see an exquisite blend of Indo-Islamic architecture. This celebrated mosque located in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India gets its name from the fact that the entire structure was constructed in a period of 2 days under the supervision of Mohammad Ghori.

Built in 1198 A.D., Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra was skillfully designed over an already existing edifice that housed an ancient center of Sanskrit learning. Several pillars and structures located within the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra were picked up from divested Hindu and Jain temples.

Read Koranic versus inscribed on the walls of the 7-arched wall located within the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra. The main façade of the mosque is ornamented with painted yellow arches and the décor on the walls is quite impressive.

The tall tower located within the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra is carved to perfection and served as the platform for the muezzin to chant prayers. The main prayer hall located within the Adhai Din ka Jhonpra has intricately carved walls that are fashioned in the form of lattices so that streams of sunlight pass through the rectangular panels into the prayer sanctum.

See the little Sanskrit inscription atop the main gate of the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra on your tours to Ajmer tourist attractions. The 124 pillars that support the entire structure are unique in the way that no two pillars are the same. In spite of the diversity, the arches and pillars have been integrated perfectly to create one whole architectural masterpiece. There are 10 domes atop the Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra and the entire monument is chiseled with Jughra and Kufi inscriptions from the sacred Koran.
