DESCRIPTION

Khairtabad Mosque, built by Hussain Shah Wali in the year 1626 A.D, was commissioned by Khairunisa Begum for her mentor Akhund Mulla Abul Malik. The mosque has decorative minarets and features three archways at the entrance. The mosque shows intricate jali work on its facades and minarets. Khairtabad Mosque is in Khairatabad. Today Khairtabad is a well-known locality built around the mosque. The area had become a major business and IT hub of Hyderabad, India There is an empty domed building adjacent to the mosque. The reason for its being devoid of any grave is that it was built by Akhund for self burial; as he died during his pilgrimage to Haj in Mecca, the dome remains vacant The mosque has a three-arch opening in front. The slender minarets of the mosque have a lot of decorative work and the Jali (net) work is worth seeing.
