A Mole on the Cheek of Lahore!

Masjid Wazir Khan, built by the governor of Punjab under the rule of Shah Jahan, Wazir Khan was also the royal physician of the emperor's court. The mosque lies at a walking distance inside the Delhi gate and is famous for its colorful frescoes and glazed tiles.

I particularly love the way the Moguls decorated the inside of their domes



Calligraphy and intricate designing on plaster

Colorful frescoes
