The Masjid-e-chowk, also known as Chowk Ke Masjid or Jama Masjid Chowk, is a mosque located in the Mahboob Chowk Clock Tower, Hyderabad, India.[1] The mosque was constructed in 1817 by Khaja Abdullah Khan. The mosque was initially constructed with a three-arched facade. Later four arches were added by extending the structure and the two minarets in the front of rectangular hall.[2][3]: 107
