Jama Masjid

Neat mosque that has a lot of history As for experience, it was alright. Be aware that visitors cannot wear shorts or open toed shoes. You can pay people the entrances to hold onto your shoes for you and you can rent out a variety of clothing items to cover up. Further, expect to be asked for a tip if anyone asks to take a photo for you even those who claim to work there. Beautiful building and just feels sacred just being there.

It was completed in 1656 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan. Around 5,000 workers were involved in its construction, which took more than six years. The mosque is a prime example of Indo-Islamic architecture, built of red sandstone and white marble, with three large domes and two tall minarets. The courtyard can accommodate around 25,000 worshippers. The mosque is called the ‘Jamaah Masjid’ because it is used for Friday congregational prayers (Jamaah). It is a very important place of worship for Muslims. # New Delhi

The Jama Masjid in Old Delhi is a place that truly leaves an impression, not just for its immense size but for the history it carries within its walls. Built between 1650 and 1656 by Shah Jahan, the same Mughal emperor who gifted the world the Taj Mahal, this mosque stands as a powerful symbol of Islamic architecture. It’s more than just a building—it’s a sacred gathering place where the city’s Muslim community comes together every Friday for prayers, which is why it’s called "Jama Masjid," meaning "Friday mosque" in Arabic. Perched on an elevated platform, more than 30 steps above the bustling streets of Old Delhi, the mosque offers a sweeping view of the city, almost as if it’s watching over the daily life below. With its grand red sandstone structure adorned with delicate white marble accents, you can feel the legacy of the 5,000 workers who helped build this masterpiece. When you visit, there's a sense of reverence that comes from removing your shoes and dressing modestly—women in long dresses covering from shoulders to ankles and men in long pants, as shorts aren’t allowed. It’s not just about following the rules; it’s about stepping into a space where history and spirituality come alive in every corner.
