A unique 17th-century Mughal stone mosque built by Empress Nur Jahan, located on the banks of the Jhelum River in Srinagar's old city.
Located on the left bank of the Jhelum River in Srinagar's old city, Pathar Masjid stands apart from Kashmir's traditional wooden mosques. Constructed entirely from local grey limestone, its design reflects a strong Mughal architectural influence. The structure features a distinct layout with nine large arches, including a prominent central arch, that form its facade. Inside, the prayer hall is supported by eighteen massive square pillars, creating a spacious and imposing atmosphere. Unlike typical Kashmiri shrines with their pagoda-like roofs, this mosque has a flat roof, a characteristic that made it unusual for its time.
