The mosque-the Khayr-ul-manzil opposite to the Purana Qila in Delhi was constituted by whom?

1. A

   Hamida Banu Begum

   Hamida Banu Begum was Akbar’s mother and is linked to Humayun’s tomb, not to Khairul Manazil opposite Purana Qila. This option is not the key.

2. B

   Salima Sultan

   Salima Sultan Begum was a Mughal consort, not the builder named for this mosque-madrasa. This option is therefore wrong.

3. C

   Jiji Anga

   Jiji Anga (Maham Anaga is distinct) was a wet-nurse figure; the construction credit in standard keys is Maham Anaga. This option is not the key.

4. D

   Maham Anaga

   Maham Anaga, Akbar’s foster-mother, built the Khairul Manazil mosque and madrasa opposite Purana Qila in Delhi around 1561–62. This option is the official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Maham Anaga. Khairul Manazil stands on Mathura Road facing the Old Fort, a stone-and-tile mosque with an attached college. Hamida Banu, Salima and Jiji Anga are other women of Akbar’s household. Only (d) is the founder in the stored key.
