	Badshahi Masjid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jamia Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan.
		The mosque was built opposite the Lahore Fort, illustrating its stature in the Mughal Empire, and in conjunction to the building of the mosque, a new gate was built at the fort, named Alamgiri Gate after Aurangzeb.
		The north enclosure wall of the mosque was laid close to the Ravi River bank, so a majestic gateway could not be provided on that side and to keep the symmetry the gate had to be omitted on the south wall as well.
