Jama Masjid in Delhi

Jama Masjid ¤ Jama Masjid - The Biggest Mosque In India

Near the Red Fort about 500m away is the Jama masjid mosque, the biggest masjid in India. It was begun by Shah Jahan in 1650 and was completed six years later and the whole cost about a million rupees. It is hard to imagine a building more suited to evoking the awe of the majesty of Allah in man. The Jama masjid mosque stands on a rocky elevation. Its huge gateway looks down at you like fastidious connoisseur from an immense platform which has steps that lead up to it.

¤ Jama Masjid India - The Architectural Wonder

Constructed in Sandstone and white marble, Jama Masjid can be entered from both the directions - North and the South Gates. The eastern gateway is supposed to remain open in Friday and was used by the emperor himself. Jama Masjid Mosque is cluttered by devotees who offer namaz, especially during Muslim Festival. For those who don't belong to non - Muslim community, a specified time is mentioned to enter the mosque.
