🕌 Khanqah-e-Moula

The Khanqah-e-Mu'alla, also known as Shah-e-Hamadan Masjid, is a Sunni mosque and khanqah, located in the Old City of Srinagar, in the Indian-administered union territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Situated on the right bank of the river Jhelum between the Fateh Kadal and Zaina Kadal bridges, it was built in 1395, and was commissioned by Sultan Sikandar in memory of Mir Sayyid Ali Hamadani. It is held to be the first khanqah in the Kashmir Valley. It is one of the best examples of Kashmiri wooden architecture, and is decorated with papier-mâché. The mosque structure is a Monument of National Importance.
