Ek Minar Masjid
History
Ek Minar, meaning single tower. As the name suggests it’s a prominent single Minar and a 100 old stone dome, located in central market near Nampally Railway Station. Most of the structure evolved in concrete and brick masonry over time, adding space as required. Which lead to disconnected joints in the slab.
