JUMMA MUSJID, MANDOO.
|
† Jumma Musjid, Mandoo.—Mandoo is the deserted capital of the Mohammedan sovereigns of Malwa, who afterwards gave way to the dynasty of the Rajpoots: it is a proof of its former magnificence, that seven hundred elephants, in velvet housings, belonged to one of its monarchs. "The tiger now hath chief dominion there." The Building represented in the Plate, is said to be the finest and largest specimen of the Afghan Mosque in India.
