The stunning white mosque is peaceful and beautiful in every aspect. The pigeons’ flight through the mosque is a wonderful and relaxing experience. Majesty is part of the title of this mosque. “Hazrat signifies majesty. “Bal” is a reference to the enclosure. It’s probably not wrong to conclude that majesty’s completely enclosed in the beautiful area.
