Resumo
Photograph of the ruined east gateway of the Jami Masjid in Jaunpur, Uttar Pradesh, from the Archaeological Survey of India, taken by Joseph Beglar in the 1870s. This mosque was founded by Sultan Mahmud (r.1440-1457) but was enlarged and completed by Sultan Husain Sharqi (r.1458-79) in 1478. It is the largest of the Jaunpur mosques with many features in common with the Atala Mosque of 1408 in the same city, such as the large pylon in the centre of the sanctuary facade with sloping sides. The building is raised on a high platform which is reached from three entrance gateways with steep flights of stairs. This is a view of the ruined entrance gateway on the east side. Photographer: Beglar, Joseph David.
