Moti Masjid

Shah Jahan constructed the Moti Masjid, or Pearl Mosque, on the banks of the Yamuna River in 1648. It is one of the greatest spots to see in Agra, despite its lesser-known status.

The mosque was given the moniker "pearl mosque" because of its beautiful decorations and construction on gleaming white marble. But it is the mosque's amazing standing on a hillside with multiple arched recessions and side arcades that draws many travelers.
