	Badshahi Masjid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Badshahi Masjid (بادشاەى مسجد), literally the 'King's Mosque', was built in 1673 by Aurangzeb in Lahore, Pakistan.
		The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi, India, which was built in 1648 by Aurangzeb's father and predecessor, emperor Shah Jahan.
		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.

		These mosques, such as the Shah Faisal Masjid in Islamabad, act as monuments to produce an effect of national "consensus" about the public prominence of Islam (Lefebvre 1991).
		In contrast, diminutive mosques anonymously located within a neighborhood have a strong horizontal presence at the street level, indicated by numerous doors leading into these mosques, and act to "secretly" insert Islam into public life (de Certeau 1988).
		Through semi-structured interviews of mosque officials and attendees, as well as, through participant observation, I will study administrative structures, ritual practices, and spatial effects of architecture and technology to understand how mosques are structurally inserted into the fabric of this community and their subsequent political life.
