Badshahi Mosque Replica

Replica of Badshahi Mosque at Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu (19 February 2011)


The Badshahi Mosque Replica of Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu, is a replica of an Islamic monument in Pakistan, which stands today as the fifth biggest mosques in the world behind Masjid al-Haram of Mecca, Masjid al-Nabawi of Medina, Hassan II Mosque of Casablanca and Faisal Mosque of Islamabad.

The Badshahi Mosque in Pakistan was build on the orders of the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, infamous for imprisoning his father Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. Construction was supervised by Fidai Khan Koka, a foster brother to Aurangzeb. Entrance to the mosque is via a magnificent gateway. The material used for the construction was predominantly red sandstone from a quarry near Jaipur in Rajastan. Click here to visit my page on the actual Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
