This mosque was constructed by Emperor Akbar
as a token of his devotion and gratitude on
the occasion of the birth of Prince Salim (Jahangir)
in the year 1455 A.D. It is a square of
140x1402 feet and its central area is 56
(feet) high. In the centre, there had been a
hauz (Tank) for wazoo (ablution). Owing to
certain reasons, the hauz was closed and
covered. Now the mosque is known as Akbari
mosque. At present this place houses a
Quaranic Educational Institution to give
religious education to the interested
children.
