Adhai Din Ka Jhonpra (literally "shed of 2½ days") is a large and imposing structure in the city of Ajmer in Rajasthan, India. It is one of the oldest mosques in India, and the oldest surviving monument in Ajmer. Designed by Abu Bakr of Herat and constructed by Qutb-ud-Din-Aibak in 1192 CE, the mosque is an example of early Indo-Islamic architecture. The structure was completed in 1199 CE and was further beautified by Iltutmish of Delhi in 1213 CE. An early example of the Indo-Islamic architecture, most of the building was constructed by Hindu masons, under the supervision of Afghan managers. Some of the materials used for the original construction may have come from destroyed Hindu and Jain temples. The mosque retained most of the original Hindu and Jain features, especially on the ornate pillars, with only the effigies of Hindu Gods and Goddesses removed neatly. The structure was used as a mosque up to 1947. After the independence of India, the structure was turned over to the Jaipur circle of ASI (Archaeological survey of India) and is today visited by people of all religions, as a fine example of a mix of Indian, Hindu, Muslim and Jain architectures.

The place is dirty and not well maintained. Lots of pick pocket and Eve teasing happens. No security. However, it is a convergence of Hindu and Muslim architecture. The fables behind the monument's name adds to it's mysticism. Could have been a great place if marketed and maintained well...

Just another Destruction of Educational center to mould it as a mosque. Just another normal day in a life of an invader. They're just successful in fooling people for a decade of centuries (11th century to 21st century) that this monument was built in 2½ days (dhai din). Try building a monument even 1% as big as this in 2½ days, let's see if it's possible...
