Moti Masjid (Punjabi, Urdu: موتی مسجد), one of the Pearl Mosques, is a 17th-century religious building located inside the Lahore Fort, Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan. It is a small, white marble structure built by Mughal emperor Jahangir and modified by the architects of Shah Jahan,and is among his prominent extensions (such as Sheesh Mahal and Naulakha pavilion) to the Lahore Fort Complex. The mosque is located on the western side of Lahore Fort, closer to Alamgiri Gate, the main entrance.Moti in Urdu language means pearl, which designates a perceived preciousness to the religious structure. It was an established practice among Mughal emperors to name the mosques after generic names for gemstones. Other such examples are Mina Masjid (Gem Mosque) and Nagina Masjid (Jewel Mosque), both located in Agra Fort and completed in 1637 under Shah Jahans reign.The mosque, built between 1630–35,is the first among the pearl named mosques, the others built by Shah Jahan in Agra Fort (1647–53), and his son Aurangzeb in the Red Fort (1659–60).After the Mughal Empire, the mosque was converted into a Sikh temple and renamed Moti Mandir during the period of the Sikh rule under Ranjit Singhs Sikh Confederacy (1760—99).Later, Ranjit Singh also used the building for the state treasury.After the demise of Sikh Empire, when the British took over Punjab in 1849, they discovered precious stones wrapped in bits of rags and placed in velvet purses scattered inside the mosque, along with other inventory.The building was later revived to its former status, and the religious relics were conserved at the nearby Badshahi Mosque.DesignThe structure, located in the northwestern corner of Dewan-e-Aam quadrangle, is typical of Mughal architecture of Shah Jahans times.It is completely built of white marble that was brought from Makrana The façade is composed of cusped arches and engaged baluster columns with smooth and fine contours.The mosque has three superimposed domes, two aisles of five bays, and a slightly raised central pishtaq, or portal with a rectangular frame.This five-arched facade distinguishes it from other mosques of the similar class with three-arched facades. The interior is simple and plain with the exception of ceilings that are decorated and designed in four different orders, two arcuate, and two trabeated.
Masjid was closed due to sum upkeep and renovation

Is a very old mosque
Moti Masjid means Pearl Mosque which is a part of Lahore Fort. Its small in size but fully made of white marble. Its a simple looking but beautiful indeed.Remember, Mughal Emperors were not only fond of constructing Buildings, Forts, Gardens but also, they were fond of constructing beautiful Mosques for Muslims.It make me frustrated when I see few people who dont realize the importance of historical places & write on the walls. Same is the case with walls of Moti Mosque. Management must pay attention to this stupidity & refrain visitors to write anything on the walls.
Love this place. Have nice trip with my brother.
Located inside the lahore fort..A pearl from the Mughal eraa.. this place has that mystical feel to it..legend says that this place has midget Jinns that pray alongside you when you are there.. U will find the entry wall filled with written prayers and peoples dreams waiting for fulfillment... It was a nice experience to be able to pray there...
Loved the structure but authorities are just making money and not spending on its renovation nor care.
I love this place when I reach here my heart was so blessedI see this place again and again

Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque)It is one of those two mosques built in chaste marble by Emperor Shah Jahan. The second one was built at Agra Fort in 1654 A.D. Aurangzeb also constructed a mosque of the same type at Red Fort Delhi in 1662 A.D. They are all titled as Pearl Mosque because of their outlook imbued with white marble. The Sikh rulers in Punjab used the Pearl Mosque at Lahore Fort as treasury and named it as Moti Mandir (Pearl Temple).
