Sunehri Masjid (Chandni Chowk) Mosque

Address: Chandni Chowk, Old Delhi, New Delhi, Delhi 110006, India

The Sunehri Masjid in Chandni Chowk is a Mughal-era mosque in Old Delhi, notable for its three gilded domes and 18th century origins.

The mosque’s primary visual highlight is its trio of gold-coloured domes and a compact prayer hall set back from the busy market streets. It sits within the dense lanes of Chandni Chowk, so approach routes and viewpoints are framed by surrounding commercial buildings rather than open forecourts.

Constructed in the early 18th century, the mosque has been repaired and altered several times since its original build and retains its small-scale urban mosque layout rather than a large courtyard plan.

Located in the walled city of Old Delhi, the mosque stands in Chandni Chowk close to the Red Fort and the main shopping streets of the historic city centre.

• Gilded domes: Has three gilded domes that are visible from the surrounding market streets and narrow lanes.
• Best times to visit: Best visited early morning or late afternoon to avoid the busiest market periods in Chandni Chowk.

Sunehri Masjid is reachable on foot from Chandni Chowk metro station (Yellow Line) and by local rickshaw or walking from Jama Masjid. Expect crowded lanes and slow-moving traffic nearby.

• The narrow lanes of Chandni Chowk are busiest in the late morning; visit early to move more easily through the market.
• Sunehri Masjid is an intimate urban mosque - dress modestly and observe local rules about photography during prayers.
