The old mosque below Leh Palace is a Sunni Muslim mosque. It was constructed under the threat of military action by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb which prompted King Deldan Namgyal to build the mosque in 1661. The mosque is green and white in color and reflects a mixture of Islamic and Tibetan architecture and can accommodate more than 500 people. The mosque is open only to men.
