Which Mughal emperor built the Badshahi Masjid in Lahore?

A. Akbar
B. Jahangir
C. Aurangzeb
D. Shah Jahan
Correct Answer: C. Aurangzeb

The correct answer is Aurangzeb. The magnificent Badshahi Masjid in Lahore, one of the largest mosques in Pakistan and a prominent example of Mughal architecture, was commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. Its construction began in 1671 and was completed in 1673, reflecting the grandeur of the Mughal era.

  • Akbar was an earlier Mughal emperor known for his architectural patronage, but not for the Badshahi Masjid.
  • Jahangir, Akbar's son, also contributed to Mughal architecture but did not build this mosque.
  • Shah Jahan, known for the Taj Mahal, was Aurangzeb's father and a prolific builder, but the Badshahi Masjid was built by Aurangzeb.
