History

The Kamal Maula Mosque was erected by Alauddin Khalji in the early 14th century. The Kamal Maula Mosque drew influence from the Qutb Mosque in Delhi and in 1405, the Tughluq Indian emperor Nasir-ud-Din Mahmud Shah Tughluq erected the Dhar iron pillar in the centre of the nearby Lat Mosque to reflect this inspiration.
