Toli Masjid, also known as Damri Masjid, is a mosque in Hyderabad, in the Indian state of Telangana. It was constructed during the Qutb Shahi period and completed in 1671.[1]

Built in the distinctive Qutb Shahi style, the mosque displays considerable Hindu influences in its style. Its chief feature is its extensive ornamentation, consisting of latticed screens, chajjas, stucco work, and various other motifs.[2][3] It is located on the historically significant Karwan road, and was originally set in a garden.[4] It is listed as a state protected monument.[5]
