Khwaja Saleh Mosque, Sukkur


Narrow stairs, just at the corner of Kanaya Lal Cottage, leads to the Rohri's Takar Muhallah and Qureshi Parra, where a single domed an ancient mosque built in 1120 AH is located. The mosque has been by and large renovated by the local communities. Its architectural outlook greatly resembles with the Ali Asmani Shah Mosque behind the Darbar of Wassam Ram.

The name of the builder or the financier of the mosque Muhammad Saleh Tajir is inscribed in the chronogram on its front elevation. The Antiquities of Sindh by Henry Cousins names it as Khwaja Saleh's mosque built in 1122 A.H.
