Built by Shah Jahan in 1658, it is one of the largest mosques in India with a seating capacity of more than 20,000.
The mosque is situated near the Red Fort in old Delhi.This is the area that still retains the traditional charm of markets in Mughal times.
The bulbous domes and tapering minarets built with marble stand strong and beautiful even to this day.
This mosque has three gateways, four angle towers and two 40 m. high minarets.
You can even go to the top of minarets and have a bird's eye view of Delhi. |
