Jama Masjid is a famous mosque in Delhi that was built in 1656 by Shajahan. This structure features a mughal style and is the country’s largest mosque. The mosque comprises two minarets and three domes where thousand of muslims offer prayers. The structure is surrounded by several shops which offer a variety of things to the visitors. It is built from red sandstone and combines the hindu and muslim style in the architecture.
The structure is situated on a very high platform and has two double-storeyed gateways to the north. At south and east it has the double-storyed also that surround the courtyard, that measures around 100 square metres. The visitors can walk in through the north and south gate because the other one was reserved for the emperor and its ladies. The most impressive is the mosque’s minarets that are 130 feet high. The domes are covered with black and white marble.
Jama Masjid tower is made from 5 different floors, each of them has a designed balcony. The first levels of the tower are made from red sandstone, while the fourth is made from marble and the fifth one from sandstone. Near the eastern gate stands the tomb of Sultan Ahmed Shah, which is the home to 3 great rulers: Ahmed Shah I, his son Mohammed Shah and his grandson. Now this tomb is like a place of relicves where the visitors come for prayers, and leave their problems behind.
It took almost 13 years to complete this marvelous art of indo-saracen architecture of the Ahmed Shah style. The courtyard is covered by white marble and has a pool inside that makes this place a special one, where people can rest in peace and meditate. Inside of this complex there are three exceptional domes decorated wih white marble that have strips of black marble with white marble cupolas at the corners, that create a realy colourful atmosphere full of dignity and harmony.
