Dai Anga's Mosque Print  

Dai Mosuqe is another spectacular piece of archietcure built in the Mughar era. The design of the mosque is based on a single-aisle 3-bay plan form—a comparatively simplified version of the spectacular mosques built by the Mughals. The prayer chamber is divided into three compartments by means of lateral arches. The central bay, larger than the others, has exceptionally rich decoration. The usual arched recess sunk deeply into the western wall serves as the mihrab. It is crowned, like its flanking counterparts, with a high double dome placed on squinches composed of eight small arched panels.  embellished with tiled pane.

Location
Dai Mosque mosque is situated is the city of Lahore in the Naulakha area, southeast of the fortress-like railway station.
