Sher Shah Suri Masjid
Considered a landmark in Patna, it is the biggest mosque in the city. It is well known by the locals as Shershahi. The aim of building it over such a generous space was to ensure that large numbers could gather at this mosque and pray together. Architecture-wise, the mosque is sure to leave one impressed. There is an octagonal stone slab on top of the tomb inside the masjid complex.
A big dome lies at the center of the roof and there are four smaller domes constructed around it, ensuring a unique aesthetic appeal. But there is much more to this grand mosque when it comes to the architecture. The design of the domes, done so many years ago, has to be commended for its precision. From every angle that you view the domes when you are inside the mosque, you can only see three domes at a time. And, even when you view them standing outside the mosque, you can only view three of the five domes on top of the mosque.
