This rather unique Indo Islamic Mughal mosque is "embedded" within the walled city and is accessed by a flight of steps right above the bazaar's intricate lanes. It is said to have been built when the Mughal Empire was declining. Its guilded domes can be hardly seen because of its cloth covered up patio. There's a magic atmosphere created in that same patio, around the washing up basin where some men were praying.

This mosque which is located next to Gurudwara Sisganj Saheb in Chandni Chowk was built by Nawab Roshan-ud-daula in 1721 AD.
The most prominent thing about this mosque is that Nadir Shah, the Persian ruler who defeated Mughal ruler Muhammad Shah watched the katl-i-am or general massacre of people of Delhi from top of this mosque on 11th March, 1739. It is said that in one day 30,000 people were done to death. It is surprising that the brute killer chose a mosque to watch the massacre.
We saw its interior which is very beautiful and had a chance to look at a very old photograph of this mosque and Chandni Chowk when the mosque looked beautiful and Chandni Chowk was not crowded at all. Difficult to imagine Chandni Chowk without choc a block crowd.

There are two ‘Sunehri Masjids’ (‘golden mosques’, both so named because their domes were originally plated with gold plating, or at least something that looked sufficiently like gold plating). One is near the Delhi Gate of Red Fort (you pass it on the way to the Red Fort ticket counter), the other is this one, right next to Gurudwara Seesganj.
The mosque was built in about 1721 CE by a Mughal nobleman named Roshan-ud-Daula. It was the site of a landmark historical event in 1739 (TripAdvisor won't allow me to elaborate, but you can search online for more details). Just for that - not so much for the mosque, which is nothing exceptional - you might want to visit. It does have some remnants of carved white marble, though.
The mosque is located on the first floor, reached by a narrow flight of stairs. It’s still in use, so take off your shoes if you go upstairs.

Alexander Cunningham the grand old man of ASI wrote that , “Some buildings maybe remarkable only for their historical interest, but they are worth preserving on that account alone, although they maybe otherwise insignificant. Such,for instance, is the small mosque of Raushnud daulah in the Chandni Chauk of Delhi, where Nader Shah sat for several hours while plunder and massacre were going on all around him."
Today unless you know about it you will give it a miss and never notice its tarnished golden domes.
Access is through a flight of steps next to the shops
It is next to the magnificent Sisganj Gurudwara.
