General view of the city of Lahore from Wazir Khan Mosque. The main building of the mosque sits in the foreground, with the top of the pointed arch at the main entrance, the domed roof, and the two chattris at the front corners all visible. One of the two minarets that adorn the outer walls of the mosque can be seen on the right side of the image. Both the mosque and the minaret are decorated with intricate mosaics, carvings, and marble inlays in floral and geometric patterns.
