About Moti Masjid (Pearl Mosque)
The Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, is a jewel-box of white marble within Lahore Fort, built during Shah Jahan’s reign as a private royal mosque. Its serene simplicity contrasts with the grandeur around it.
Compact and refined, it’s one of several ‘Pearl Mosques’ the Mughals built and a quiet highlight inside the Fort complex.
