Chauburji (Mazang)

Description


It is called Chauburji (the four minarets) because of its four corner minarets, out of which one on the north-west was actually lost. The main architectural merit of the building is its rich mosaic decoration with which its entire facade including the octagonal corner minarets are brilliantly embellished. The minarets are slender for their height and end up at the top in coved platform and arched pavilions. The panels over the main vault are inscribed with Ayat-al-Kursi, in blue enameled letters. At the end of this inscription, the year A.H. 1056 (1646 CE) is also given.
