The Moti Masjid is a white marble mosque inside the Red Fort complex in Delhi , India. Located to the west of the Hammam and close to the Diwan-e-Khas, it was built by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb from 1659-1660. The prayer hall has three arches and is divided into two aisles. It is surmounted with three bulbous domes, which were originally covered in gilded copper, which was later removed and sold by the British colonialists. The outer walls are oriented in symmetry with the outer walls of the fort, while the inner walls are at a slightly different orientation to align with the location of Mecca . The eastern door is provided with copper-plated leaves.
