Mosque of Mahomed Saleh, Sindhi

     This old and graceful mosque is situated east of Kila Gujar Singh, and north of the road leading from the North-Western Railway station to Government House.  Its founder was Mahomed Saleh, Sindhi, Diwan of the Governor of Lahore during the reign of Shah Jahan.  It has three large domes, supported by arched entrances, and a court-yard paved with solid bricks.  Where the mosque now is, there existed, in old times, a muhalla called Haji Sewai.  Mohamed Saleh was nephew of Haji Sewai, and was n Amir of the Court.  As was the case with most Mohammedan institutions during the reign of Ranjit Singh, the mosque was used as a powder-magazine.  After the annexation of the Province by the British, it was repaired by the late Nawab Ali Raza Khan, Kazilbash.  An old tank existed close to the well, but no traces of it now exist, though there are traces of a large garden having been attached to the mosque in the days of its prosperity.

            A school for instructing boys in the Kuran is attached to the mosque, which is supported by Nawab Nasir Ali Khan, son of the late Nawab.  Close to it is the extensive house property of the Nawab.
