The Abbasi Mosque, or Derawar Mosque, and locally known as Jamia Masjid‑e‑Abbasi, is a mosque located close to Derawar Fort in Yazman Tehsil, in the Cholistan Desert in Bahawalpur District, in the Punjab, province of Pakistan.[2] The mosque can accommodate 10,000 worshippers.[3]

History

[edit]

Abbasi Mosque was built by Nawab Bahawal Khan in 1849.[1] It was built like the Shah Jahani Masjid in Delhi, using the same construction materials.[4]

Architecture

[edit]

Abbasi Mosque features a 4.9-metre-wide (16 ft), 39-metre-long (128 ft) prayer hall and is crowned by three bulbous marble domes that dominate the surrounding dunes.[3][4] Two octagonal minarets flank a tri‑arched façade carved in low‑relief Qurʼanic calligraphy, while marble jharoka balconies evoke a late‑Mughal aesthetic.[5]

Constructed entirely of polished marble, the building moderates desert heat and bathes its interior in diffused light that enters through pierced screens set high above the mihrab.[3][5] The paved courtyard and prayer hall together can accommodate about ten thousand worshippers, a capacity that once enabled the Bahawalpur nawabs to conduct state ceremonies beneath its domes.[3]

Historically, the main entrance housed servants' quarters and the lower portion comprised a hostel and a library.[4]
