★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's a small masjid near daryaganj. It was made by Aurangzeb's daughter as a gift to her father. Her grave is near the masjid but now there are homes around the grave, so a little difficult to see. It is quite peaceful place, which is away from all the noise that exists in Delhi. You can sit there and enjoy the evening between the sounds of bird's chirping.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ghata Masjid which is also called as Zeenat-Ul Masjid was built by Zeenat-Un-Nisa, second daughter of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb and Dilras Begum.
Zeenat-Un-Nisa which means Jewel among Women was a well learned woman who built this masjid on the banks of river Yamuna. Hindu's call the river bank as Ghaat which might be it's name and called Ghata with passage of time.
It must have looked beautiful from other side of Yamuna probably reminding the beauty of Taj Mahal as seen from Mehtab Bagh on the other side of Yamuna river in Agra.
Peepal trees are growing on various parts of the Masjid which with time will damage the structure if remains unchecked.
The grave of Zeenat-Un-Nisa lies in a corner of the same campus and remains undisclosed like her name which has also lost from the people's memories.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Beautiful masjid built by a daughter for her father,
This mosque is a beautiful miniature of Jama Masjid, Delhi and was built by Princess Zeenat-un-Nisa Begum as a gift to her father Baadshah Aurangzeb Alamgir.
But, unfortunately Baadshah Aurangzeb Alamgir was destined not to return to Delhi thereby was not able to see this beautiful masjid built for him by his daughter.

It was surrounded by lavish greenery and as per locals there was a Muslim Graveyard, which has been dislocated now and a School known as Crescent School was built over it. When you go towards Ring Road from Ansari Road Daryaganj this monument is on left side opposite Jain Woman Ashram, near Fire Station.
