One of the most beautiful monuments in the city! Built by Omar Khan between 1809 and 1812, its style is monumentally reminiscent of the style of the mosques at iwan. 99 wooden pillars, a veritable forest, support a ceiling with woodwork painted with traditional motifs. It is said that 100 elephants left India to bring back the precious wood from the pillars. One elephant died en route, so there are only 99 to support the awning. The total length of the iwan is 100m. In the middle of the courtyard rises the minaret, which is 22 m high.

Grande construction en U séparée de la rue par une grille, cette mosquée musée possède plus particulièrement un beau minaret élancé et un long portique avec de nombreuses colonnes de bois . Les décorations des plafonds sont magnifiques.
Cette mosquée et le palais sont les deux sites les plus intéressants de la ville.
