⁵ The ruinous mosque at Kachpura opposite Agra is described by Carlleyle, in Cunningham, *A. S. Rep.*, vol. iv, p. 100; and by Moin-ud-din, *History of the Taj*, p. 111. It is dated A. H. 937 = A. D. 1530–1. The Fathābād mosque is a massive, well-proportioned building with domes rather more than hemispherical, built to the order of Humāyūn about 1540 or 1541, when he was on his way to Sind (Garrick, in Cunningham, *A. S. Rep.*, vol. xxiii, p. 12, Pl. III, IV).
