More Mosque


Here you can see the prayer hall or Mushalla windows lit up on the main floor level with the minarets behind.

Minarets were also used as a type of air conditioning before mechanical AC became popular. The sun would heat up the tower and then pull air up and out (stack effect) and thereby pull in air from outside to cool off the people inside.
