Jama Masjid, located in the heart of Old Delhi, is one of the largest and most renowned mosques in India. Constructed between 1650 and 1656 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, the mosque exemplifies Mughal architecture with its grand red sandstone and marble structure. The expansive courtyard can accommodate over 25,000 worshipers, making it a central hub for Islamic congregational prayers. Key features include its three majestic gates, four towers, and two 40-meter-high minarets, which offer breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
