The Pathar Ki Masjid stands on the bank of river Ganges near the Takht Shri Harmandir Saheb in the city of Patna.[1] Parviz Mirza, son of Jahangir, established Pathar Ki Masjid in 1621.[2] The structure is built of stone, and so it got its name as Pathar Ki Masjid. It is located on Ashok Rajpath between Sultanganj and Alamganj.[3]
Pathar Ki Masjid is very popular among the local Islamic community. Apart from religious functions, this old mosque is a major landmark of the city.[4]
Pathar Ki Masjid is also called Saif Khan's mosque, Chimmi Ghat mosque, and Sangi Masjid.
