LAT -KI MASJID
This mosque, as
well as Kamal Maulah Masjid, consists of the west prayer room
surrounding a large courtyard, and corridors on three sides. It
shows similarities to mosques remaining in Dhar and Mandu dating
back to the early 15th century. Judging from a remaining
inscription, it is viewed as being built in 807 AH (1404/5) by
Dilawar Khan. What is specially important in this mosque is the
darwaza (gate), having a square plan and cronwned by a dome on
the east side. Its majestic structure and style are outstanding
among the early mosques remaining in Dhar and Mandu. (Matsuo Ara)
This
is a structure that Dilawar Khan Ghori converted from the palace
of Raja Bhoja, named Raj Martand Palace, into a mosque. Outside
the east gate of the mosque, there remains an iron pillar of
about 6 metres in height, which is considered to have been either
a victory pillar for Bhoja or a flaming torch. It is called Rat（Iron pillar）.
