Asfarwala Mosque




Asfarwala Mosque is a trimukhi (three-faced) mosque lying south-west of the tomb of Humayun and north-west of the Arab Serai neighborhood in Eastern Delhi. It was built in 1530 during the Mughal period.

The mosque stands on a plinth and can be distinguished by three arches on the main facade. It shares a platform with the Afsarwala Tomb and is considered a 'funerary' mosque, standing in what is sometimes described as the 'grand necropolis' of Delhi.

Indira Gandhi International Airport and New Delhi Railway Station are the nearest airport and railway station.
