This mosque was built by Mahmud Begada during 1430-1440 AD. The mosque is named after Rani Rupamati the wife of Sultan Qutubuddin. After the death of Qutubuddin his brother, Mahmud Begada became the sultan and he married Rani Rupamati. The mosque has three domes and slim minarets. These minarets were collapsed during the earthquake of 1819. This is one of the mosques where an attempt was made to combine the arched Islamic and flat Hindu styles. The mosque is remarkable due its richly carved lattice windows and balconies.











Close to the mosque in the same compound, is the tomb of Rani Rupamati and the other queen. These tombs were covered by a large central dome and two side domes.




This architecture is absolutely breathtaking!

So much beautiful history!
Who bears the upkeep expense of these and other tombs you’ve posted? Are any considered national treasures or monuments and under government authority?
Thanks! 🙂

Yes, it looks more of a temple, due to the Hindu architectural style.
