Badshahi Mosque Replica

Replica of Badshahi Mosque at Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu (19 February 2011)


The Badshahi Mosque Replica of Taman Tamadun Islam, Kuala Terengganu, is a replica of an Islamic monument in Pakistan, which stands today as the fifth biggest mosques in the world behind Masjid al-Haram of Mecca, Masjid al-Nabawi of Medina, Hassan II Mosque of Casablanca and Faisal Mosque of Islamabad.

The Badshahi Mosque in Pakistan was build on the orders of the sixth Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, infamous for imprisoning his father Shah Jahan, who built the Taj Mahal. Construction was supervised by Fidai Khan Koka, a foster brother to Aurangzeb. Entrance to the mosque is via a magnificent gateway. The material used for the construction was predominantly red sandstone from a quarry near Jaipur in Rajastan. Click here to visit my page on the actual Badshahi Mosque in Lahore, Pakistan.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
