Perth Mosque is an urban mosque located in Perth, Western Australia. It is part of a busy street in Northbridge close to the city centre. its architecture is inspired by the architecture of mosques in the Indian subcontinent. The façade of the Perth mosque  is its most prominent feature. While no documentation exist to trace the decisions that determined the mosque’s initial design, stylistic study clearly shows copying of late Mughal architecture from the Indian subcontinent. This time has been referred to as a “golden age,” particularly during Shah Jahan (r. 1628-1658), whose Mughal emperor lineage may be traced back to Genghis Khan and Timur (or Tamerlane, founders of the Mongol and Timurid empires, respectively. Timurid and Uzbek forms and motifs, impacted by the legacy of Persian architecture and gardens, affected the growth of Mughal architecture, which melded with Hindu construction traditions in the crucible of the Mughal Empire.
