Qutub Shahi mosque Guddimalkapur (Jaamsingh Mandir) uninhabited
Hyderabad, November 2: Qutub Shahi mosque Guddimalkapur Mehdipatnam is uninhabited. The rulers of Deccan had always preferred the development and prosperity of its subjects. This was the reason that though the rulers were Muslims yet they thought both Hindu and Muslims as their two eyes. While the humanitarian rulers built mosques, they also allotted lands for Hindu temples and gave them complete religious freedom. There are so many places in our city where mosques and temples are adjacent to each other. We can regard them as best example of Ganges-Yamuna culture.
Readers! the 400 year old Qutub Shahi mosque which is located at Guddimalkapur is adjacent to an old Jam Singh Mandir. It is being tried to hide the mosque from the eyes of public. A building has been constructed in front of the mosque to place a big ‘rath’ (chariot) because of which the mosque has gone almost out of sight. This uninhabited mosque in 20 feet wide with 3 arches and is in very precarious condition.
The temple spreads on nearly 30 acre land. The mosque adjacent to the temple seems to be complaining of its desolateness.

The details of the mosque is enrolled in gazette no 20A, serial no 595 dated 17-05-1984 on page no 31.
