Assalamualaikum w.b.t.
See you once again.
"the mosque was perched on the top of an overgrown stone turret, which formed a corner of an old ruined fortress wall. the hospital, it turns out, was built inside the grounds of the 18th century Fatehgarh Fort, so that soldiers deployed as guards could perform their daily prayers. and, according to an old city tourism sign standing outside the locked gates, this was the first mosque built in Bhopal, a city that now boasts than 400."

| The main entrance of Dhai Seedhi Ki Mosque |
Did you ever imagine about the mosque that only takes two and
half steps and the interior dimensions of 16 meters square? Yes. It exists in
this world.
In this entry, I will enlighten on the smallest mosque in the
world which is Dhai Seedhi Ki Mosque in India. This mosque sits atop a
watchtower, at one of the city’s peak points it offers a commanding sight of a
city built in turbulent times. Originally a makeshift mosque for the prayer of
the guard, the mosque of 2 and half steps was built during the construction of
Fatehgarh fort begun by Dost Mohammad Khan.
As for me, the Dhai Seedhi Ki mosque was built for defenders
of Fatehgarh fort, which is a reminder, that spiritual yearning that needs to
be answered even when defending our kingdom.
That’s all for this entry. Thanks for spending your time
reading my blog!
