Jama Mashid is India’s largest mosque. It was finished in 1656, and it is a mighty testament to the religion of the Moguls. Jama Masjid was built as Mogul Shah Jahan’s most important mosque. The mosque is built on a raised foundation, making it possible to view the beautiful construction from all sides. As was common with the Moguls, Jama Masjid is built of red sandstone with inlaid white marble. The pulpit is carved out of a single block of marble. The mosque’s two minarets are 40 metres tall.Tuesday, June 9, 2009
