Qutbuddin Mubarak Khilji, the son of Alaudin Khilji, ordered the construction of a massive mosque in the early 14th century in the majestic fort of Daulatabad as his empire expanded southward. It was so large in size that it was once one of the biggest mosques within the realms of the vast empire of the Khilji Dynasty. The mosque continued to be in use for centuries after its construction. There is no record of exactly when, but an idol was installed in the mihrab (prayer niche) of the mosque. Thereafter locals began worshipping there and the grand mosque started to be called Bharat Mata Mandir.

Jami Masjid, the mosque located within the Daulatabad Fort, was built in 1318 by Khilji ruler of Delhi, Qutub-ud-din Mubarak. This mosque is adorned with 106 carved columns/ pillar.. The interior of the mosque is a blend of Indic and Islamic style.
