Sunehri Masjid

The Sunehri Masjid (Urdu: سنہری مسجد چاندنی چوک, lit. 'Golden Mosque') is an 18th-century mosque in the Chandni Chowk neighbourhood of Old Delhi, India. It was built by Mughal noble Roshan-ud-Daula, during the reign of Emperor Muhammad Shah. It is located near the Gurudwara Sis Ganj Sahib in Chandni

Chowk, once an imperial boulevard leading to the Red Fort. The mosque's original appearance has been altered as extensions to accommodate the faithful have been constructed. The mosque is also under threat from encroachment.
