==History==
Khairtabad Mosque was built by [[Khairunisa Begum]] in 1626 AD, also known as Ma Saheba, daughter of VI [[Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah]] (1612–1626 AD). She built the mosque for her tutor Akhund Mulla Abul Malik.

There is an empty domed building adjacent to the mosque. The reason for its being devoid of any grave is that it was built by Akhund for self burial; as he died during his pilgrimage to [[Haj]] in [[Mecca]], the dome remains vacant.<ref name="Andhra Pradesh Tourism"/>

[[Khairunisa Begum]] asked his son-in-law [[Hussain Shah Wali]] to construct a palace, a mosque and a tank for the princess. The tank later became famous as [[Hussain Sagar]], built in the northern boundary of [[Khairtabad]].<ref name=":0" />

==Architecture==

Khairatabad Mosque was designed and constructed by [[Hussain Shah Wali]]. The mosque has a three-arch opening in front. The slender minarets of the mosque have lot of decorative work and the Jali (net) work is worth seeing.<ref>{{Cite document | url=http://dome.mit.edu/handle/1721.3/32109 |title = Khairatabad Mosque|year = 1612}}</ref>
