History of Masjidkund Mosque

The mosque was discovered after the partition of India in 1947. Earlier this area was full of forest and various trees. Later excavations were carried out and this underground mosque was discovered. Since no inscriptions were found at the time of the mosque's discovery, the exact date of its construction is unknown. As the mosque was discovered by digging underground, it was named Masjidkund. But archaeologists believe that this mosque was probably built during the reign of Khan Jahan.
