In the city called Ayodhya lies the beautiful Babri Mosque, under the Faridabad district of Uttar Pradesh state in India. Located on the Ramkot Hill, the mosque was destroyed in 1992, when a political rally developed into a riot involving 150,000 people. The mosque was constructed in 1527 by order of Babur, the first Mughal emperor of India and was named after him only. Before the 1940s, the mosque was also called as Masjid-i-Janmasthan. It is one of the largest mosques in Uttar Pradesh. Apart from this, there are several other mosques in the surrounding districts including Hazrat Bal Mosque constructed by the Shariqi kings.
Designed in the Mughal architecture style, the Babri mosque is constructed with great patrons of tombs. The distinctive style of the Babri Masjid holds the influence of ‘later Tughlak’ architecture. The Babri mosque was a large imposing structure with three domes, one central and two secondary. The walls of the Babri Mosque are made of coarse-grained whitish sandstone blocks. Babri Mosque travel and tourism offers the best way of exploring this amazing monument. The monument is located towards the south-east of the railway station in the suburb of Gomtipur and can be reached through a taxi or bus from station.
