Akhund Panju Baba Mosque is a mosque in Akbarpura, Nowshera, Pakistan.[1][2]
History
The mosque was constructed around 405 years ago during Mughal Emperor Akbar's reign.[3]
Building
Submerging approximately four feet since its inception, the hall descends by a wheat grain-sized centimeter annually.[4] Despite this, the mosque remains intact and functional for daily prayers.[4] Local lore ties the mosque's fate to Doomsday and attributes its establishment to a miracle spring conjured by the eponymous Sufi saint upon Akbar's visit.[4]
