Qadam e Rasool (foot-print of Mohammed), situated at Cuttack, is a shrine and an important specimen of Mughal architecture in Odisha.[1] In the Qadam Rasool premises are present numerous dargahs, two masjids, namely Moti Masjid and Qadam e Rasool Masjid and several inscriptions.[2][3]
Researcher Mohammed Yamin said: "Architecturally, it is a beautiful shrine of the Mughal era, but with an Odia style of temple building. Hence, it is a fusion of Hindu-Muslim architecture in Odisha."[4]
