Pilibhit, India
Sarai Khan
N/A
Persian wheel from a well located close to the southern gate. Lakhori bricks with red lime as a cementing substance were used in the construction of the hauz. In recent years, white marble has replaced the small bricks of the floor. The walled enclosure around the main gateway is covered by two curvilinear Bengali domes on each side. The praying section, measuring 50 feet x 40 feet, can be accessed via five arched entrances that lead into a verandah with a palanquin-shaped roof. During the time of Hafiz Rahmat Khan, a large madrasa used to be run in these chambers, as quoted by Prof Iqbal Hussain, an expert on Rohilla history, in his book, The Ruhela Chieftaincies: The Rise And Fall of Ruhela Power In India In The Eighteenth Century. The walls of the inner section of the mosque have been decorated by paintings of arch-shaped niches, and domes with floral-patterned engravings.

The only Complete Replica of Delhi's Great Jama Masjid having a running SunDail(a type of watch which shows exact time with the help of Sun rays) built by Rohaila Leader Hafiz Rehmat Khan in District Pilibhit Uttar Pradesh 400 years ago and still very nicely maintained and kept intact, you can also find the pond in tha main courtyard like there is in the Delhi's Jama Masjid. There is an ancient Gauri Shankar Temple near by built by him only it is also a beautiful and grand example of mughal era. Hafiz Rehmat Khan was know for many monuments he built in that mughal era but he known for one more thing and that is... 3rd Battle of Panipat fought between Marathas & Ahmed Shah Abdali. He supported Mughal forces in this Battle.
