About Jaunpur – The Shiraz of India
Jaunpur is a historic city on the banks of the Gomti River in Uttar Pradesh, founded in 1359 CE by Firuz Shah Tughluq. Once the capital of the Sharqi Sultanate, the city is renowned for its unique Sharqi style of Indo-Islamic architecture — seen in iconic structures like Atala Masjid, Jama Masjid, Jhanjhari Masjid and the grand Shahi Bridge (Shahi Pul).
Known as the "Shiraz of India" during the Sharqi era for its flourishing culture, poetry and scholarship, Jaunpur today is a vibrant city blending its glorious heritage with modern life. The Gomti River flows through the heart of the city, giving it its ghats, greenery and spiritual identity.
