Part of it was found on the mosque premises with the tip stolen The Moti Masjid was built by Sikandar Jahan Begum the daughter of Qudsia Begum, in 1860. For over 160 years, the red sandstone towers, pearl white domes and the glistening golden spikes have been a mesmerizing sight on the Bhopal skyline.
