The Fatehpuri mosque in Agra

Most people who go to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra are probably unaware that other wives of Emperor Shah Jahan are also buried in the complex.
Located at the West Gate of Taj Mahal is a beautiful mosque made by or just named after Fatehpuri Begum. Her tomb is opposite it.


Famous as Saheli Burj, The tomb is no longer open or accessible for tourists but the lovely mosque which is on an upper floor is well worth visiting.
Beautifully maintained too and with a very friendly Imam sahib.


Fatehpuri Begum made a mosque in Delhi too. It’s at the end of Chandni chowk.
She obviously had a liking for single domed structures.
