Akhund Mullah Shah Masjid or Akhoon Mullah Masjid[1] or Dara Shikoh Masjid,[1] known as Mala Shah Mashid[1] in Kashmiri, is a mosque built by Dara Shikoh in 1649 for his spiritual mentor.[2] Located in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, India, it is a mosque inside a mosque. The prime sanctuary is entirely separated from the main building through a courtyard that surrounds it. There is a stone lotus that crowns the podium of the mosque.[3]
