The Moti Masjid (lit. 'Pearl mosque'[1]) is a 17th-century historical mosque, not open for worship, inside the Red Fort complex in North Delhi, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, damaged during the Siege of Delhi, and subsequently restored by the British. Named for its white marble,[2] the mosque features ornate floral carvings. It is an important example of Mughal architecture during Aurangzeb's reign.
