Moti Masjid, a mosque built in 1659 by Aurangzeb, who deposed Shah Jahan. The walls enclosing the mosque are aligned with the rest of the Red Fort, but the mosque inside is aligned with Mecca. Even behind its walls, the mosque has an unusual grace. Next to the mosque were the royal baths. All through the grounds, water ran through channels. It even ran through the royal apartments. |
