- Madhulika LNoida, India6,801 contributionsTucked away in the back lanes behind South Extension – 2, Moth ki Masjid is a Lodhi-era mosque, built sometime during the reign of the second Lodhi Sultan, Sikandar Lodhi (r. 1489-1517 CE). The mosque’s name (‘moth’ in Hindi means lentil) refers to a charming legend attached to the mosque. The story goes that one day Sikandar Lodhi and his prime minister Mirza Bhoiya were offering namaz; when the sultan rose after kneeling, Mirza Bhoiya noticed that a lentil grain had been pressed into the floor under the sultan’s knee. He pointed it out to Sikandar Lodhi, and the sultan gave the lentil to Mirza Bhoiya, telling him jokingly to use it to build a mosque where he, the sultan, might offer namaz. It is said that Mirza Bhoiya planted the lentil, harvested its crop, planted that, and so on, until the sale of successive harvests fetched him enough money to build a mosque: the ‘moth ki masjid’.
The approach to the mosque is along a lane at the back, so you can see the formidable fortress-like structure of it: complete with a high surrounding wall, and circular bastion-like towers at the corners. There’s some beautifully carved white marble calligraphy just before the main gate. The mosque has a five-arched façade, with ornamentation mostly in the form of incised plaster, though there’s some carved white marble and red sandstone too. It’s a beautiful mosque, and the large neem tree in the courtyard is very shady and lovely, but it seems nobody takes care of this any more (though it’s a protected monument): there’s pigeon excrement all around and the interior is dusty and smelly.
No entry fee is charged. The mosque is no longer in use, so you can enter without having to take off your footwear.Written August 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We browsed the internet looking for a tour that met our requirements and didn't find one. Then we found When In India tours and found that they would allow us to define our own half day tour. Ritu Kaira was extremely responsive and we booked they exact tour that we wanted. (Our tour included the Gurudwara Bangla Saheb, Humayun Tomb, Lodhi Gardens, and National Crafts Museum}.
Mr. Neil was our guide and I don't remember the drivers name. Mr. Neil was very knowledgeable, gave us many insights, and allowed us to set the pace at each of sites that we visited. He added to our requested sites by including Kutub Minar (which was wonderful) and other drive-by sites. He gave us a least an hour beyond the contracted length of the tour.
We were very happy with When In India tours and with Mr. Neil as our guide.Written April 18, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

My driver, Pappu, made me feel totally safe and relaxed throughout the whole trip. I actually enjoyed this tour so much that I want to see more of India and I am planning a longer trip in 2025, and I will absolutely book all tours and sightseeing with Tour4Fun and Pappu!Written June 2, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
