Description:
- Fatehpuri Masjid is located on the western end of Chandni Chowk, old Delhi's most famous street. At the opposite end of Fathepuri, is the Red Fort and around the masjid, is the vibrant Chandni Chowk market. Built in 1650 by Fathepuri Begum (Shah Jahan's wife), this mosque is typical of the gorgeous red sandstone architecture of the Mughals. It has a dome with a mahapadma and a kalash on its roof and is flanked by minarets on all sides. The central courtyard is laid with red stones and there are single and double-storeyed apartments on both sides of the mosque. It is visited by non-Muslims as well, mostly during Id-ul-Fitr festivities.
