Whenever we read about Mughal history, the name Dai Anga does come across but have you ever turned the pages of history to get to know this important personality? Dai Anga was not only Emperor Shah Jahan’s wet nurse but had given several years to the royal family and also built a mosque during the Mughal era which is said to be one of the city’s best-used mosques of that period. This vibrant and majestic mosque is located in the southeast of Lahore railway station, near the Lahore Fort. With sandstone walls and wooden screens, this mosque has three prominent domes, captivated pillars, and marble floors that remind you of Mughal architecture. The tall minarets rising from a square base on the two front extremities are terminated with kiosk-like structures having cupolas. However, this mosque has failed to grab tourist’s attention unfortunately but trust me these are masterpieces and one must visit them to see the taste of the artisans of those times.
