    Queen of Mahmud Shah Begda built this beautiful mosque in 1514. After the death of Rani Sipri, she was buried in the premises of the mosque. This small mosque is also known as the Masjid-e-Nagira (Jewel of a Mosque) because of its extremely graceful and well-executed design. Its slender minarets blend Hindu and Islamic style. It is said to have been commissioned in 1514 by the wife of Sultan Mahmud Begada after he executed their son for some minor misdemeanor.
