Jama Masjid, Biloli is a congregational mosque located in Biloli, in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

History

The mosque was built in 1645, during the reign of Shah Jahan, and it was commissioned by one of his governors. It is one of the earliest Mughal buildings of the Deccan.

Description

The mosque facade contains five arched entrances with low piers, above which is a deep chajja. An arcaded parapet runs across the length of the facade, interspersed with miniature minarets corresponding with the piers of the arches. The facade is broken in the middle by a flying arch, which connects the two miniature minarets in the center.

The facade is flanked by two slender minarets, with bear some resemblance to the minarets of the Damri Masjid, as well as Qutb Shahi minarets.
