Badshahi Masjid, or the Imperial mosque of Aurangzeb, built in 1674, represents the very best of Mughal architecture. It is a huge, walled square with minarets at each comer and a monumental gate at the top of a broad flight of steps.The courtyard is paved with red sandstone. A square  marble fountain stands in the center of the courtyard, while an arcade of white arches lines its perimeter on three sides. The fourth side, opposite the gate, is the prayer chamber, which is crowned by three elegant marble domes. The ceilings inside the prayer chamber are decorated with carved plaster-work and floral frescos in subdued colours.
