Title:

Patan [Prabhas Patan], Somanatha, Kathiawar. Maipuri Masjid. Photographer: Cousens, Henry

Scope & Content:

Genre: Architectural Photography

General view of the mosque, constructed from Hindu temple materials. 'The Maipuri Masjid is situated between Veraval and Pattan...It stands close beside the large whitewashed dargah of Mangaluri Shah on its east side...It has within it one of those richly wrought domical ceilings, a finer one even than that in the porch of the Jami Masjid. Two pillars in the building have names inscribed upon them in Devanagari, but they are upside down, and were no doubt inscribed when they were lying prone upon the ground by visitors to Pattan. This fact shows that the mosque was built of material which was, and probably had been for some time previous, in a ruinous state, and that the temple had not been desecrated and converted into a mosque at one and the same time. As the mihrab and other parts have been designed in keeping with the Hindu details of the pillars and ceiling, and the mosque is well and carefully built, it is evident that the builders had come to stay and carried out their work deliberately and carefully...'
