Right Now we are in Khanpur Dam

This is the space inside the dam that has come out due to lack of water

And the grass I am walking on is the grass of fresh water

We've been wandering around here for a long time

And we've been enjoying it for a long time, people are parasailing here and Paragliding here

It takes a lot of courage to do all this

Where I am now, there is a 150-year-old mosque right in front of me

There are plenty of things here for those interested in history

This mosque is about 150 years old and most people miss this place when they visit this dam

lets check the old masjid because khanpur dam water level is very low right now

The reason for the lack of water is global warming. We still don't plant trees. This is the most important thing

along with water activity The Dam has one oldest history site masjid

the name of this mosque is rajoo ki masjid

then names changed and now Rajgan Masjid

According to locals, the mosque was built about 150 years ago

Prior to the construction of the dam, five-hour congregational prayers were offered in the mosque

But now, according to locals, only Eid prayers are offered in the mosque

This mosque was built by Raja Sultan Jahan Dad in 1872

Who was the grandfather of Raja Sikandar Zaman Khan

he was the chief minister of kpk and he was parliamentarian too

for construction of this mosque labor came from Dehli India

Black stones and bricks were used to build the mosque

The wood for the mosque was specially imported from Kashmir

Wooden doors and cupboards were made

Rajgan Mosque is a symbol of old Islamic architecture

Unfortunately, this mosque is in a state of disrepair today

It is a rare and ancient national heritage

This mosque is watching the people coming to the dam for entertainment with great helplessness

The mosque, which has a capacity of about 1,000 more worshipers, now stands unoccupied

Locals say that when the dam was flooded about eight years ago in the month of July-august,

the mosque would have been flooded on all sides.

But now neither water collects in the dam nor people gather in the mosque for prayers

we are not doing anything

chief of gakhar name sultan jahan dad khan

water and government damage some area of this historical masjid

this is the precious masjid but now a days this masjid is getting in a worst condition

people can come and help this masjid to rebuild and help by there own hand

we did some work befor 18 years but as you know that one man can not do a lot

this masjid is asking question to the muslims

floor is damaging itself

this is the question for muslim umma

How is it possible for the dam to be filled with water?

I think if we fill the mosque with worshipers, the dam will automatically fill with water
