Kulsum Begum Masjid (also known as Kulsumpura Masjid or Jama Masjid Karwan) is a mosque in the Karwan locality of Hyderabad, India. It was built in the 17th century by Kulsum Begum, daughter of Sultan Muhammad Qutb Shah.[1][2][3]
Architecture[edit]
The architecture is very similar to other Qutb Shahi mosques in the city. Built on a three-foot high plinth, the façade of the mosque has three arched openings. The two minarets flanking the façade are heavily decorated in stucco. In addition, two small arched pavilions punctuate the parapet wall.
There is no inscription that exactly dates the construction of the mosque.[4]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
