In Mughal times, the grand construction known as the Agra Mosque was built in order to please Jahanara Begum, a wonderful daughter; the construction was carried out by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan. The workmanship was nothing less than perfect, as it contained several architectural pieces, such as intricately adorned arches, enchantingly dome-shaped roofs and wonderfully carved minarets. It is said that the building, which also contains vast open spaces and a great mosque where prayer can be conducted, is very near to the fort of Agra. In many ways, it still acts as a home of God where people offer their daily prayers. Those who have visited the place have marvelled at the stonework on the monuments and delicate writings carved with perfection. To take in the ambience of the building, you may visit the locality, where you can appreciate the importance of this monument, especially if you consider the local market situated next to it.
