Chaukhamba Mosque

India

The Chaukhamba Mosque is a mosque, located in Varanasi, in the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. Despite its partial ruinous state, the 14th-century mosque is used as a pilgrimage site by Muslims. Chau means four and Khamba means pillar, as the mosque has four low massive pillars towards its north eastern extremity. It was constructed during the reign of Sultan of Delhi, Feroz Shah Tughlaq (r. 1351–1388).
