Khirki Masjid
South Delhi district, India · built 1351
The Khirki Mosque is a former mosque, now in partial ruins, located in Khirki Village, near Satpula, in South Delhi, India. The mosque was built by Khan-i-Jahan Junan Shah, the prime minister of Feroz Shah Tughlaq (1351–1388) of the Tughlaq Dynasty. The former mosque can be approached from Satpula or the seven–arched bridge on the edge of southern wall of Jahanpanah. The former mosque is a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India. While construction within hundred metres of monuments designated as such are explicitly outlawed by the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958, the mosque remains completely circumscribed by contemporaneous urban sprawl.
