Pathar Masjid
Floral designs carved in low relief decorate the ceiling of the mosque resting on pillars.

The Pathar Masjid located at Thanesar in the state of Haryana is noted for its fluted minarets attached to its back wall. These are made up of red sandstone. Floral designs carved in low relief decorate the ceiling of the mosque resting on pillars. The mosque was built in the seventeenth century AD.

There is a `qibla` in the center of the western wall. It is flanked on either side by two arched niches inscribed with verses from the Quran. Later, the masonry terrace that forms the frontcourt was added. The pillars are also well decorated with floral designs. Again, the bases over the mouldings show `chaitya`- window motifs.
