Damdi aka Damadi Masjid (Mukundnagar) near Ahmednagar Fort in Ahmednagar

Saturday, May 14, 2016

Damdi aka Damadi Masjid (Mukundnagar), is located very near to the Ahmednagar Fort. One has to travel by the Burhan Nagar Road to reach it. Directions to reach it are available on Google Maps. It is looked after by the Damdi Masjid Kabrastan (Trust).

Apart from the Masjid are many old tombs in its premises. Not sure to whom these tombs belong as there are no signboards around them. The Masjid was built around in 1567.

The Masjid is very small in size but is very beautiful. Art work is very clearly visible on the Masjid walls. The stone engraving, the arches, the minar atop are beautifully done. I have seen many Masjid's but nothing like this one.

Not sure if the Masjid is still operational, as the entry  gates are locked so we couldn't see it from the inside. but there is a family that stays near its premises. The cemetery is operational.
