Pathar Masjid, known locally as Naev Masheed is a
Mughal era stone mosque located in the old city of Srinagar, Kashmir. It
is located on the left bank of the River Jhelum, just opposite the shrine of
Khanqah-e-Moula. It
was built by Mughal Empress Noor Jehan, the wife of emperor Jehangir. The
mosque has some distinct features that separate it from the rest of the mosques
in the Kashmir Valley. Unlike other mosques, it does not have the traditional
pyramidal roof. Furthermore, the mosque has nine mehraabs (arches), with the central one being
larger than the others.
