'''Hayat Bakshi Mosque''' also '''Hayat Bakshi Begum Masjid''' or '''Hayathnagar Grand Mosque''' is a [[mosque]] located in [[Hayathnagar]], near [[Hyderabad, India]].<ref>{{cite news |title= Photo-docu of monuments begins|url= http://www.hindu.com/2010/10/22/stories/2010102260750300.htm|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20101109050911/http://www.hindu.com/2010/10/22/stories/2010102260750300.htm|url-status= dead|archive-date= 9 November 2010|newspaper= [[The Hindu]]|date= 2010-10-22|access-date=6 February 2012}}</ref> It was constructed in 1672 during the reign of [[Abdullah Qutb Shah]] the fifth [[Sultan]] of [[Golconda]], and named after [[Hayat Bakshi Begum]].<ref name="india1">{{cite web|url=http://www.india9.com/i9show/Hayat-Bakshi-Begum-Mosque-15096.htm |title=Hayat Bakshi Begum Mosque in Hayath Nagar India |publisher=India9.com |date=2005-06-07 |access-date=2011-05-09}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gigapan.org/gigapans/55770/ |title=hayat Bakshi begum masjid |publisher=gigapan |date=2010-08-02 |access-date=2011-05-09}}</ref>
There is a mosque with the same name in "[[Qutb Shahi tombs]]" as well.
==Structure and architecture==
The Mosque is built in typical [[Qutub Shahi]] architecture; with the [[Caravanserai|Sarai]], a rest house for the weary travelers. The façade features five arches, two [[minaret]]s as well as a frieze and parapet which runs around the twelve-sided arcaded galleries protruding from the corner minarets. The prayer hall is set on a raised platform. Toward the eastern side of the platform and below the [[mosque]] is an [[Ablution in Islam|ablution tank]]. The large complex occupies nearly 5 acres. The caravan sarai (rest house) is a 150 m by 130 m courtyard. This guest house is said to have 130 rooms. Hathi Bawli (meaning well of [[elephant]]), is a very large well on the north-east of the mosque.<ref name="india1"/><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thenewsminute.com/article/photo-essay-hayath-bakshi-begum-hand-king-three-times-over-42086|title=Photo essay: Hayath Bakshi Begum- The hand of the king, three times over|last=Gopalan|first=Madhumita|date=2016-04-23|work=The News Minute|access-date=2018-11-23}}</ref>
==Controversy==
In May 2009, the archaeology and museums department requested permission from the [[Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation]] (GHMC) to tear down 20 structures abutting the Hayat Bakshi Begum Mosque in violation of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act of 1960.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-05-25/hyderabad/28160455_1_buffer-zone-mosque-constructions |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110916055454/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2009-05-25/hyderabad/28160455_1_buffer-zone-mosque-constructions |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-09-16 |title=Structures around mosque to be razed |date=2009-05-25 |work=[[The Times of India]] |access-date=2011-05-09}}</ref>
