Moti Masjid
Lahore Fort, Lahore, Punjab

The Moti Masjid, the Pearl Mosque, is a small white marble mosque inside Lahore Fort, near the Alamgiri Gate. Its builder is uncertain: it has been credited to Jahangir and to Shah Jahan, and it is generally regarded as the forerunner of the Mughal pearl mosques at Agra and Delhi. Under Ranjit Singh it became the Moti Mandir and the state treasury.
