Very good place to visit but remember dont visit on weekend to much crowded on that days

Badshahi Mosque is the real attraction and always nice to visit and pray in. What could use improvement is their way of maintaining - people making money off of holding your shoes and in general begging in every part of the museum. This is mostly a Government of Pakistan failure, as its the governments job to maintain the countrys tourist attractions.

The architecture is majestic, love the place. The vibe is soooo pacifying

The mosque is an important example of Mughal architecture, with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay. It remains the largest mosque of the Mughal-era, and is the second-largest mosque in Pakistan.[4] After the fall of the Mughal Empire, the mosque was used as a garrison by the Sikh Empire and the British Empire, and is now one of Pakistans most iconic sights.The mosque is located adjacent to the Walled City of Lahore, Pakistan. The entrance to the mosque lies on the western side of the rectangular Hazuri Bagh, and faces the famous Alamgiri Gate of the Lahore Fort, which is located on the eastern side of the Hazuri Bagh. The mosque is also located next to the Roshnai Gate, one of the original thirteen gates of Lahore, which is located to the southern side of the Hazuri Bagh.Near the entrance of the mosque lies the Tomb of Muhammad Iqbal, a poet widely revered in Pakistan as the founder of the Pakistan Movement which led to the creation of Pakistan as a homeland for the Muslims of British India. Also located near the mosques entrance is the tomb of Sir Sikandar Hayat Khan, who is credited for playing a major role in preservation and restoration of the mosque.The sixth Mughal emperor, Aurangzeb, chose Lahore as the site for his new imperial mosque. Aurangzeb, unlike the previous emperors, was not a major patron of art and architecture and instead focused, during much of his reign, on various military conquests which added over 3 million square kilometres to the Mughal realm.The mosque was built to commemorate Aurangzebs military campaigns in southern India, in particular against the Maratha king Shivaji. As a symbol of the mosques importance, it was built directly across from the Lahore Fort and its Alamgiri Gate, which was concurrently built by Aurangzeb during construction of the mosque.The mosque was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1671, with construction overseen by the Emperors foster brother, and Governor of Lahore, Muzaffar Hussein - also known by the name Fidai Khan Koka.[9] Aurangzeb had the mosque built in order to commemorate his military campaigns against the Maratha king Chhatrapati Shivaji.[4] After only two years of construction, the mosque was opened in 1673.On 7 July 1799, the Sikh army of Ranjit Singh took control of Lahore.[10] After the capture of the city, Maharaja Ranjit Singh used its vast courtyard as a stable for his army horses, and its 80 Hujras (small study rooms surrounding the courtyard) as quarters for his soldiers and as magazines for military stores.[11] In 1818, he built a marble edifice in the Hazuri Bagh facing the mosque, known as the Hazuri Bagh Baradari,[12] which he used as his official royal court of audience.[13] Marble slabs for the baradari may have been plundered by the Sikhs from other monuments in Lahore.[14]During the First Anglo-Sikh War in 1841, Ranjit Singhs son, Sher Singh, used the mosques large minarets for placement of zamburahs or light guns which were used to bombard the supporters of Chand Kaur, who had taken refuge in the besieged Lahore Fort. In one of these bombardments, the forts Diwan-e-Aam (Hall of Public Audience) was destroyed, but was subsequently rebuilt in the British era.[2] During this time, Henri de La Rouche, a French cavalry officer employed in the army of Sher Singh

What a beautiful place! What an architecture! Must visit such an amazing and beautiful place in Lahore. Such a peaceful place and good for mind health️️

Beautiful Mughal Architect, constructed in 17th Century by the King Aurangzeb, persevered as it is till date

The best place to remember Allah. The biggest mosque which can have 100,000 worshippers at a single prayer. Best place for photos also. It’s one of the historical places and alot people visit it,

This is one of the biggest Masajids in world, Subhan Allah ️. Such a unique and beautiful interior and even exterior of Masjid is soo beautiful. There is also a library in Badshahi Masjid where Muhammad (PUBH) old things Mubarik (sorry if I used the wrong wording) are still there and people from many places come to visit. Outside of Masjid is Mizar of our National Poet Allama Iqbal, that was even so beautiful .We must be proud that our country have such beautiful Islamic Historical places and museums.Subhan Allah ️

It is a beautiful mosque it has religious values as well as a great place for tourist to visit, the architecture is masterpiece of Mughal-era with an exterior that is decorated with carved red sandstone with marble inlay. It remains the largest mosque of the Mughal-era and still is the second largest mosque in Pakistan.

This is a most beautiful and historical mosque in Pakistan.

Seeing is believing... SubhanAllah breathtaking

I cant share the feeling of offerimg prayer in it. It was marvellous and aesthetic. Such a wonderful historic place for muslims and others.

This is the most unique and historical mosque ...

Very beautiful and great looking historical places.

I loved visiting the beautiful and historic mosque in Lahore Pakistan built by Moghal King.I really enjoyed the red stones plates used which look charming in the golden electric light at night.I would say it must be visited if someone visits Lahore.

Very good place for visit. One of biggest historical place of history

One of oldest mosque with amazing art and historical important place

An old Mughal classic! This place is the jewel in the crown of Lahore. Absolutely wonderful to go through its vastness and marvel at its architecture. Remember to go to the right side. Through balconies there you can view Minar-e-Pakistan and other wonders. The main compound is gorgeous. I think it is best at night when the inside lights are on. On your way out, you can check out a small museum for a small fee. Outside is the tomb of Allama Iqbal to the left of Huzuri Bagh. You can visit the Shahi Qilla or Lahore Fort first and then come to the Badshahi Mosque around sundown. This way you can catch the lights too. After, go to the wonderful Hamza Food Street. Many great restaurants, including Cuckoos Den, Haveli, Andaaz and Sweet Tooth. Finally, a special word is due for the TERRIBLE parking situation. The adjacent Greater Iqbal Park has vast parking. But is it available to you? Nope. The PHA, WCA and other responsible govt authorities should look into this parking issue!

An amazing peace of ancient architecture. Its also one of the most beautiful sites to visit in lahore.

A beautiful and historical building. Of 400 years.

A marvelous piece of art and Islamic style of construction.

The visit was goodBut if you are planning to go with your kids with you and want to carry your pram dont even think thatYes pram is not allowed inside the mosqueThis guy standing there holds the trolley without even giving any security token.So carry as little baggage as possibleFor the entrance you dont get any nearby place for parking.One gate is allocated for nikkah peeps only.While there is only one entrance for Minar e Pakistan , badshahi mosque and Lahore fort.

Amazingly architectural design of Mughal era the wonderful city Lahore, such a beautiful place

Historical mosque but public and administration not behaving good

It was great experience to visit historical sitesThere is not parking issue and no traffic issues.Very neat n clean roads and reasonable parking spaces.

Nice Place. Urgent Need Maintenance

Ma sha Allah what a structure it is. Astonishing building with best structural designs. But we are ignoring it no good maintenance and also people are not taking care of Masjid. Its Masjid but women are there without dupattas, no respect is given to Masjid. We should think about it too. Whenever you go there just offer 2 nawafil and pray.

Culture of Lahore.This is very beautiful and good place to visit.

Because this was a beautiful and piece full place.

A very beautiful mosque to pray.

Best historical masjid government must clean and maintain cleaning

People are turning this place of worship into business and pleasure spot. I have a great admiration for its architectural marvel and location.b

Nice islamic historical plce

A place that represents the Muslim cultural heritage and architectural skill from Mughal era. This place was supposed to be on of the master pieces of its time.Alas, I have to say now this place has turned into photoshoot spot for newly wedded couples. This place isnt being maintained properly. We should respect and protect these places or well never know where we came from.

Just beautiful ️

Beautiful structure... small but splendid..its ditto is new dehli...this mosque has seen many era and has lost or gain something in these periods.it is brilliant masterpiece of mughal construction style...a must visit place in lahore

Mughal Era Badshahi Masjid AkA Kingdom Mosque located in the walled city of Lahore, heart of Pakistan and the city of lights.

This place is amazing. It present the old heritage, the authorities have properly maintained the enclosure. Its a worth visiting place.

Attended for nikah, best for photography

Oldest and Best ever place to visit in Lahore , Pakistan

Splendid piece of work done by architectsBut the worth considering point is we are violating the sacredness of mosque.Afterall its a masjid and boys and girls mixing up freely there, laughing, abusing so we need to do something about it.

Almost 350 years old mosque, made with special red stone. Elaborates the climax of mongol/mughal architecture at the height of their power in indian subcontinent. Requires some maintenance

Beautiful ️

Looking gorgeous

Art its best

Badshahi Mosque is old mosque, tourist attraction, always crowded. Go and visit. Fortunately we got FREE guided tour.

Wow,the mosque has really an amazing art of work and history

Excellence of Mughal Muslims dynasty in Punjabs Capital City Lahore.

Ive seen images of this place all along .. and its my dream that One day I will come to visit and today is true .. Very beautiful. Spacious and not disappointed. And most importantly, I also prayed at this mosque️️الحمدلله⁦️⁩الله اكبر⁦️⁩⁦️⁩

Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful! The grandeur, the sheer size and the structure is jaw dropping. The system of keeping shoes in the locker outside the premises is quite efficient too though beware of them scamming you by overcharging. Just sit back and relax in a corner of masjid and enjoy the peace and serenity it brings to your soul.

Memorial Day with my better half

Quite crowdy ....Need maintenance. of floor ....and Management.....of the place..........

It was Best Historical Place and Its beauty cannot be defined.

One of the most iconic Places of Lahore ...Must visit for everyone

World class architecture absolutely Loved It

(Big & most beautiful mosque)

Historical site. Very beautiful and peaceful.

The heritage of Muslims Most beautiful Masjids in Lahore spiritual relief is there ..

Very interesting. A historical mosque

Beautiful place and peaceful environment

This mosque is very old and having a great history with itOne of the biggest mosque in the whole Asia

A must visit place...TIP:: No matter what, the people outside will ask you Rs350 for keepings ur shoes.... dont give them this much amount just give them 50-100 rs...

Allah says in the Quran not to despise one another. So the criterion in Islam is not color or social status. Its who is most righteous. If I go to a mosque - and Im a basketball player with money and prestige - if I go to a mosque and see an imam, I feel inferior. Hes better than me. Its about knowledge.

Best touristic spot, rich in history

Amazing holy place to visit and worship our God

Amazing architecture

Lovely place, beautiful view, a bit too rushy but it had its own vibe.. A lot of happiness around and lots to do, eat, explore.. Easy approach from ring road..

Amazing vibe. Great place to experience the nostalgia of the great Mughal empire.

Very nice flavours devices vape Store available Oriya tone Phase 4

That Mosque is very great and beautiful. I like that Mosque very much.That was my good experience with Google maps.

I cant explain what I felt there. Its such a calming and peaceful place. Has the best time of my life there. Felt myself healing and coming to peace. Such a valuable and amazing experience. I dont have the proper words to explain that wonderful and pleasant experience.Would surely recommend you visit the place and offer your prayer there. The time spent there was worth it. Theyve got separate prayer area for females.
