Mughal Masjid

In the heart of busy Bhendi Bazar, turn the corner and voila...a dazzling flash of two tall minarets.

As part of a curated walk, our mixed group was kindly allowed to enter (women are generally not encouraged to do so; it would be respectful to wear long sleeved clothing and trousers / long skirts).

The tranquility of the beauteous blue tiles is totally worth spending a few moments leaning about the mosque's interesting history.

Insider tip - visit between 10 and 11 am for a more personal experience.

Beautiful and Amazing. A complete Persian vibes. The architect is so breathtaking. I've been in Mumbai so many times but can't beleive I missed this place. Calm, peaceful. Mashallah ❤🙌🏻. A big salute to one's to built this mosque

The most beautiful Iranian mosque in our city Mumbai.
The exterior and interior is just so very beautiful with mosaic of blue tiles brought from Persia.
The mosque is 162 years old built in 1860 in Shirazi-style of south-western Iran.
It has two minarets at its entrance, no dome, and a splendid rectangular pool of water in its forecourt.
The mosque was built by a wealthy Iranian merchant and now it is maintained by a trust set up by his family.

These old Irani Mosque is a heritage building listed under best construction in mumbai.
The tiles and marble are specially imported from Iran. The design of this mosque make you feel like you are in Iran. A must visit for photo enthusiasts.

Architecture is marvelous... You will defenetly love this place, in the bylanes of dongri you will find splendid Iranian architecture, It's a mosque as the name suggest, for non- Muslim guys can ask and visit the main entrance but they will not allow you to prayer hall.
Their is little pond inside, which adds on too the beauty of the architecture. you will not believe in between congested place of south Mumbai u have such beautiful mosque hidden from so many years.

The masjid is beautifully designed and built. The artwork on the walls, ceiling, floor is intricate and is in Mughal style. Entry is allowed inside the Masjid complex but not inside the inner hall which is used for prayer. If you love old architecture and artwork, you must visit this place. Open on all days.

One of the most important landmark of Shias of Mumbai. Beautiful Iranian tile art. A very spritual and peaceful place.

This place has been a heritage place of worship of shia muslims. It has been built with a small garden

The masjid was built in 1860 by a wealthy Iranian merchant, Haji Mohammad Hussain Shirazi. "There was a reason behind building the mosque in Bhendi Bazaar. At that point of time, this area was considered an uptown, a bastion for big traders and exporters who would come with ship-loads of goods,"

I am not from Mumbai, as far I know, Dongri is the Shiite hub in Mumbai..there are a lot of Masjids: Mughal Masjid, Khoja Masjid, Zainabia, Najafi House... But I visited Khoja Masjid this year to participate in Azadaari. Some of pictures that I captured at 9th-10th Muharram at Khoja Masjid.

I visited this great mosque after 35 years and feel great to recall my memories

One of the most beautiful structures , great ambiance , peaceful atmosphere

This place is one of the oldest building in center of Mumbai. Old but hidden. I like the Persian architecture of this mosque.

A hidden gem in Mumbai. It's a km from Masjid railway. This place looks like you're in Uzbekistan but it's our very own Mumbai. The guards are very cooperative and will show you the place. Dress appropriately

Beautiful architecture inshallah one day I visit 😌
