Bahria Jamia Mosque Lahore

Nayyar Ali Dada Associates

Bahria Jamia Mosque Lahore, commonly known as the Grand Jamia Mosque in Bahria Town Lahore, is a major congregational mosque located inside Bahria Town on the Raiwind Road corridor. It is credited to architect Nayyar Ali Dada and is conceived as the central religious and civic landmark of the township, blending Mughal and broader Islamic architectural vocabulary with contemporary scale and services.

The mosque is widely documented with an overall capacity of about 70,000 worshippers, including an indoor prayer capacity often stated around 25,000, supported by a large courtyard and circulation zones. Key features repeatedly noted include four minarets around 165 feet high and a dome composition totaling 21 domes, with the project inaugurated on Eid al Adha on 6 October 2014.

This project stands out for how it turns a private master planned development’s mosque into a city scale monument, using recognizable Islamic forms and a very large congregation capacity to create identity, destination value, and a strong community anchor, while also showing how contemporary patronage and modern building management can shape religious architecture in Pakistan today.
