Jamia Masjid Srinagar was built by Sultan Sikandar with the help of Sadru Din Khurasani, an architect & engineers from Khorasan, Iran. This mosque depicts magnificent combination of brick & wood work. It was Sultan Zain ul Abidin who built 4 minars of the mosque later. Thread +

@BBCWorld Did they buy it? Did they trade for it? Then how can they own it?

@_tatarian This one was turned into prison by Dogra rulers. Also, an elderly local said this was called Qaid e Sangeen.

@fadingchinar Elderly locals call it Qaid-e-Sangeen.

@peakygooner Yes.

@nehavermani Aurangzeb appointed 14 governors to Kashmir out of whom Ibrahim Khan was appointed thrice, followed by Saif Khan who was sent twice.

@nehavermani Thank you for the additional information. Saif Khan had to leave Kashmir right after establishing this garden, he was planning to bring a water stream and plant chinars, but he was called back from by Aurangzeb in 1667.
