    Erected in 1650 on a hill overlooking Chandni chowk and the Red fort. The biggest mosque in India. Loads of pigeons in the central square. You can climb on the tower for a nice view on Old Delhi (additional entrance fee for the tower, no change given)

    Gorgeous red sandstones steps lead to Jami Masjid. And around this place are hawkers stalls, from food to shoes, watches, sajadah [small carpet for muslim in praying] and manykind of stuff. In Aurangzeb's time, they're selling horses here.

    Built by Shah Jahan in 1656 and took 6 years with 5,000 workmen to complete this beautiful red sandstones mosque.
    Approximately huge 28 m square courtyard and accomodates up to 20,000 people at prayer times. Truely full-house during Friday praying or in Eid-el-Fitr.

    If there's a sight I wanted to see in Delhi, it's the Jama Masjid - India largest mosque. It was planned by Shah Jahan and completed in 1658. There are 4 angle towers and two 40 metres high minarets and... no walls and noroof! Yes, the Mosque itself is a large open square where about 25000 people can assemble and pray - and because the weather in Delhi is generally warm - who needs walls and a roof anyway?
    When you visit remember to be dressed adequately: no shorts or miniskirt, and no tank tops. Short sleeves are fine and as a woman you don't need to cover your head. There's also a 100 rupees surcharge to use your camera (august 2003)

    If you are a lover of 400 year old buildings, markets, bargaining, spicy food items, huge crowds, color, traditional Indian handicrafts, antiques, narrow lanes, temples, mosques, etc., etc. then 'Chandni Chowk' is just the place for you. however if you are one who would rather stay away from the crowds, it may not be your dream destination.
    chandni chowk has plenty of history behind it. in the days of the mughal emperor, shah jahan, who also built the taj mahal, chandni chowk was endowed with fine 'havelis' (mansions), had a tree-lined canal flowing down its centre and was renowned throughout Asia.
    today it is delhis best known wholesale market.

    Jami Masjid: An Unfortunate Sign of the Times

    A couple of days after I was at the Mosque there were two explosions which occurred there (April 14, 2006). At least 13 people were injured in the blasts. Some 1000 people were apparently in the mosque at that time which was a Friday, the busiest day for the Muslim community and the first Friday after Milad un Nabi Muhammads birthday. Fortunately for the world and the community, there was no damage done to the mosque.

    Black and white marble covers the floor of the mosque which is designed to imitate a Muslim prayer mat and is marked at 3ft long by 1 ½ ft wide for worshippers making around 899 spaces. There is a water tank at the centre of the courtyard for members of the congregation to be able to wash before prayers.

    Jami Masjid mosque is the largest mosque in India and was built by Mogul Emperor Shah Jahan in 1656. Before entering the grounds of the mosque you must remove your shoes and be respectfully dressed. If you wish to take photos inside the grounds you need to buy a ticket at the entrance, this will cost you 150 Rupees.

    Three large bulbous white domes act as a cover over the mosque and these are decorated with thin vertical black stripes with a gold covering on the very top. Under these domes is a hall with seven arched entrances. These entrances face the west. Beyond these entrances are the prayer
