Jama Masjid Built in 1650 - Old Delhi India 2024
Jama Masjid of Delhi, mosque in Old Delhi, India, constructed in 1650–56 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, a noted patron of Islamic architecture whose most famous work is the Taj Mahal, in Agra. Jama Masjid, now the second largest mosque on the Indian subcontinent, is also an impressive example of Mughal architecture.
Jama Masjid is Delhi’s principal mosque, the place where the city’s Muslims traditionally gather for Friday communal prayer; Jama Masjid is Arabic for “Friday mosque.” The mosque is near the Red Fort, yet another of Shah Jahan’s buildings.
Jama Masjid and its courtyard stand on an outcropping more than 30 steps higher than the street, giving the mosque a commanding view of the surrounding area.
The longer name, Masjid-i Jahān Numā, translates to “world-reflecting mosque” or “world-displaying mosque.”
The mosque was built by a crew of some 5,000 workers. The principal construction material was red sandstone, but some white marble was also used.
Entry into the mosque is 300 Rupees for foreigners. Most of the area is closed off to tourists. The building itself is very impressive and a great place to take a few pictures. Dress code is strictly enforced at the mosque.
