Lal Masjid, Tijara

The Lal Masjid, or Red Mosque, stands on the eastern side of Tijara and takes its name from its reddish colour. It was built by Hindal Mirza, a son of the Mughal emperor Babur, who had been granted Tijara as a jagir by his father. The mosque is protected as a monument of national importance.

The building is a rectangle of about 35 m by 12 m, with a fluted minaret at each of its four corners. Three arched doorways in the façade open into the prayer hall, which measures roughly 30 m by 7.6 m. Three domes once roofed it, the middle one larger than the other two; by 2024 the southern dome had collapsed, and traces of a pillared cupola can still be seen on top of the central dome.
