The Jumma
Masjid constructed by Tipu Sultan in 1787 A.D is a grand structure with two lofty
minarets noted for their majesty and grace. The hall of the mosque has a number of foil
arches and mihrab on the west. Cornices and floral bands adore the shafts of the minars. A
flight of about 200 steps leads to the top of each minars. There are fine persian
inscriptions-one mentions the date of the construction and others, the extracts from the Holy
Quran.
