This masterpiece of indo-islamic architecture is located near the Dargah Sharif and consists of a quadrangle, cloistered on all four sides. The inside has a front screen wall of seven pointed arches. Originally a Sanskrit College with in a temple enclosure. It was destroyed by Mohammad Ghauri and converted into a mosque. The name, Adai-din-ka- Jhonpra was given to it in the latter half of the eighteenth century when fakirs began to assemble here in the times of the Mahrattas to celebrate the urs (anniversary of the death) of their Pir, Panjab Shah, which lasted for two-and-a-half days, and fakirs residences are Jhonpras (huts). It is because of this that it gets its name. Pillars from at least thirty temples went into the making of this structure, but the screen and arches were added in 1266 A.D.
