Nili Masjid in Hauz Khas DELHI As we all know, the number of unsung, unreported and unvisited monuments is disproportionately high in Delhi. The best part is that one seems to stumble on them when one least expects it. It is especially delightful to find them lying in the middle of the posh residential localities. The South Delhi region encompassing Hauz Khas and Saket is home to many such monuments and at the same time, they are also hubs of prime residential and commercial establishments. Nili Masjid near the Hauz Khas market is one such monument that you may never have heard of but very easy to come across considering its prime location. A Pre Mughal Treasure  Nili Masjid is one of the older structures around. It was built in the Lodi era, like a lot of other similar looking structure in South Delhi. It is believed that Kausambi who was a royal nurse, got it built in 1505-06 which was the time of Sikander Lodi. She looked after the son of Khan-i-Azam Khawas Khan, who was a powerful official of the kingdom. Probably the structure was bigger during that time but as of now only the central dome remains along with parts of the wall. But even if it is ASI protected, it is still considered a live mosque and people offer prayers regularly here. That is why piped water and places for ablution have been installed in the compound. To some extent, this has affected the antique look of the monument as coolers can be seen fixed on the walls along with fans and lights. Inside the Masjid  It's known as Nili or Blue mosque simply because the upper facade was decorated with blue tiles which was probably a common decorative technique in those times and can also be seen in other structures here such as the Madhi Masjid in Mehrauli. The “blue” part has now decayed and cannot be seen easily but if you look closely, you can still see the bluish tinge on the tiles. There are three arches under the dome as usual and the walls contain inscriptions verifying its date and history. The interiors contain a bit more ornamentation and the corner towers are built like robust bastions of a fort. Like many of the Lodhi era structures, it is built upon an octagonal base and other features are also not significantly different from the remains of that era. Locating the Mosque  Although it is now located within a populous residential locality, it is one of those that breathe easy. Unlike Old Delhi or Mehrauli, Hauz Khas Enclave is a more economically empowered area with plush apartments and broad roads. So, the compound remains clean and has not suffered from any serious encroachment as such. Locating it is also not difficult. In fact it is very near to the Hauz Khas market.  The easier way to locate it is to approach it from Aurobindo Road. You will notice a big new mosque on that highway between Hauz Khas and Green Park. At that point, on the other side of the road, you should take the lane going inside the H-Block. A few yards and the mosque will be visible to you.

  • Aamir Malik

Situated in Hauz Khas Enclave, New Delhi. Only the Prayer Chamber of the Mosque has survived the waves of time. Its facade is decorated with blue tiles which gives the mosque its present name. But that too is aged or damaged with time.T he mosque was probably build during the reign of Sikandar Lodi(1489-1517). By reading the inscription over its central Archway we come to realize that it must be built in the year 1505-06 AD. by Kasumbhil, nurse of Fatah Khan, son of Khan-i-Azam Masnad 'Ali Khawas Khan' . then governor of Delhi. This mosque is still used for Friday Prayers by the Muslim Community, and by few people for all obligatory prayers. There is big compound apart from Mosque where different plantations can be seen. Walking distance from Green Park Metro station Restoration work carried by Mosque committee from time to time, Inside mosque only dome area haven’t been touched for restoration Design can be seen under dome so that light can be scattered in the night by a candle or whatever used at that time Very Peaceful and serene.

  • Iqbal Hussain

NILI MOSQUE (KHARERA) - This plastered rubble built mosque is surmounted by a single dome over the central portion. The blue tiles decorating the facade above the chhajja has given its present name, i.e., blue mosque. It was built in A.H. 911 (A.D. 1505-06) during the reign of Sikandar Lodi, by Kasumbhil, nurse of Fath Khan, son of Khan-i-Azam Masnad Ali Khawas Khan, then governor of Delhi. Now Mosque need proper maintenance and repair I request to authority please save this beautiful piece of art.

  • Kamaal Akhtar

In view of the age and construction of the mosque it is a wonderful place to visit and pray. Looks like an ancient monument. Entrance has a beautiful collection of flowers and there is ample space to occupy decent crowd for prayers. One amazing thing is the location of mosque is in such a market & residential area that one can't believe such a monument can exist in such a modern locality. All prayers are performed in the mosque.

Nili Masjid near the Hauz Khas market is one such monument that you may never have heard of but very easy to come across considering its prime location.Nili Masjid is one of the most important mosques in Delhi. This masjid was constructed by a nurse named Kasaumbhil. It is located inside the Hauz Khas enclave on the road that connects Aurobindo Marg and Khel Gaon Marg.

  • Pradeep Peter Murmu

Built during the Lodi era, it is a fine structure of medieval Delhi. The blue tile after which it was named has eroded a lot. It is located in between the high society of South Delhi with a clean and accessible road.

Google Maps gives her a notification that "you can buy lipstic from MAC cosmetics which is on your left" To summarize, to improve User engagement on google maps, I would intoroduce interior maps for malls which will allow users to find stores they are looking for along with events happening in the mall.

हिंदुस्तान की सैकड़ों साल पुरानी मस्जिद होने के साथ बहुत बड़ी मस्जिद है लेकिन सरकार और पुरातत्त्व विभाग का ध्यान ना जाने क्यूं वहां के सुंदरीकरण और साफ-सफाई पर नही जा पाता ??

  • Ansar Basha

Located adjacent to Aurobindo marg, this is an age old masjid. It can be seen that the structure is in a poor condition and it must be a herculean task to keep it in good condition. 5 times prayers are offered here unlike Moth masjid where no prayers are offered.

  • Ashish kumar Jaiswal

काफी पुरानी मस्जिद है, ASI इसका संरक्षण कर रही है, साफ-सफाई नाममात्र की है, दिल्ली के पल्यूसन से दूर यहाँ चिडियों की चहचहाहट आपको सुनने को मिलेंगी। बैठने की उचित व्यवस्था का अभाव नजर आता है। और तो आप भी आकर देख सकते हैं।

Historical mosque with small covered area but large open area. Gives a spiritual humbling feeling. Though the decay in the structure or the attempts to add modern equipments are an eyesore.
