dc.description.abstractThe Ander Killer (meaning "the inner fort") Shahi Jame Mosque is a hilltop mosque that dates back to the Mughal dynasty and is 362 years old. It is 32 feet tall. It was constructed in 1667 AD by Umed Khan, the son of Nawab Shayesta Khan, as a reminder of the Mughals' victory in 1966 AD over the Arakan Moghs and Portuguese pirates.The mosque underwent numerous renovations over time. Due to the mosque's enlargement and the structures that surround it, the Mughal mosque's view has been completely obscured. Currently, 3000 people can worship at once in the mosque, but many others offer Friday prayers on the streets. Additionally, the bookstore below has extremely inadequate natural ventilation and light. The design aspires to fulfill its requirements while incorporating a unique Mughal mosque exposure element, accommodating twice as many people to pray, moving the stores, and fostering community connection and tourism attractions.en_US
