MASJID OF AKHUND MULLA
The masjid of Akhund Mulla or Akhoon Mulla is considered as the mosque within a mosque, as the main sanctuary is a separate and detached building, placed within a courtyard surrounding the mosque. The little mosque built by Dara Shikoh son of Shah Jahan in attractive glossy grey limestone, to honor his tutor Akhun Mulla Shah is located below the Makhdoom Saheb mosque. The stone lotus erected over the podium is the only model of its type existing in Kashmir and has an inscription dated back to 1649. The main feature of the mosque is the specially constructed prayer chamber.
