Jama Masjid

During the Mughal era, several large structures were erected. Hafiz Rahmat Khan erected a copy of Delhi’s Jama Masjid in Pilibhit in 1769. There was formerly a pond here. The Masjid was built at a cost of three lakh rupees. In the Jama Masjid, there is still a sun watch. Pilibhit and Bareilly were two of Hafiz Rahmat Khan’s jagirs, or domains, in Afghanistan. When he became commander of the Rohilla Afghans in western Avadh in 1774, the British soldiers helped him in a war against the Nawab of Avadh.

To honour the Jama Masjid in Delhi, the entrance is designed in Mughal style, while the wall surrounding it has a curved Bengali roof similar to that of Shahjahan’s extension to the Mughal palace in Agra. There is a big Muslim community living in and around the city that come every Friday to worship in zamat. A portion of the structure has been demolished and a portion of land has been developed due to the dense population surrounding the monument and the lack of adequate upkeep. Every Tuesday, a modest market is conducted in the Jama Masjid complex. Near the Jama Masjid compound, a new Tehsil compound has been built.
