This is Khairul Manzil Masjid literally meaning ‘the most auspicious of houses’; located opposite to the Purana Qila and was built in 1561 by Maham Anga, a powerful wet nurse of Emperor Akbar. Anga was the foster mother of Akbar and briefly ruled the Mughal empire when Akbar was a young boy. Some accounts say this was Delhi’s first Mughal mosque, and definitely, the first such mosque to be commissioned by a woman.
