Construction of the Jami Masjid began during the reign of Hoshang Shah in the 15th century and was completed by Mahmud Khilji in 1454. Intended to be a grand mosque reflecting the glory of the Khilji dynasty, it draws inspiration from the Great Mosque of Damascus. The mosque served as a central place of worship and a symbol of the Sultanate's power. Over the centuries, it has witnessed the rise and fall of empires, standing as a testament to Mandu's rich and turbulent past. Today, it remains one of the most important and well-preserved monuments in Mandu.
