A Historic Pakistan Shahjahan Mosque

The Shahjahan mosque, located at Thatta, Sindh, was built in the reign of Mughal emperor Shahjahan in 1647. The mosque is built with red brick with blue colored glaze tiles which were imported from Hala, another town in Sindh. The mosque has 100 domes.  As the legend goes, if you count the 100 domes and pray for something, your wish will be granted. The mosque has the highest number of domes in the world. It’s been built keeping acoustics in mind. A person speaking inside one end of a dome can be heard at the other end.
