Jama Masjid - Delhi's timeless wonder awaits!

Neat mosque that has a lot of history As for experience, it was alright. Be aware that visitors cannot wear shorts or open toed shoes. You can pay people the entrances to hold onto your shoes for you and you can rent out a variety of clothing items to cover up. Further, expect to be asked for a tip if anyone asks to take a photo for you even those who claim to work there. Beautiful building and just feels sacred just being there.

The place is really good but at the same time it’s a very congested place and you will find that the infrastructure of the Friday Mosque you is veryColossal. But Muslims believe that this is one of the most sacred places for them.I enjoy the trip of Friday Mosque with my friends and We had a lot of fun their.The streets renders are really great. The food sold by street vendors is awesome, and it’s a very good place for non-veg lovers.Are you command you to go and eatnon-veg of this, and it will be an awesome experience for you.

Positives: 1. A living heritage where namaz is offered 5 times a day 2. The most happening place in Old Delhi so do visit. 3. Go in the afternoon, wait till sunset. Never visit at noon during summers 4. Do visit the food section across the road, especially grab the Shahi Tukra, Sheer Khurma like desserts and Muhabbat ki Sharbat. 5. This metro station is in Yellow Line 6. Eat GulabJamun from a small Rehmatullah shop (you won't regret) Negatives: 1. Can't expect much from Indians who keep littering the heritage 2. Beware of pickpockets 3. Don't buy stuff without bargaining from the shopping bazar behind the Jama Masjid. They will make you look like it's expensive whereas it's not at all. 4. Too much of a crowd on weekends. 5. Don't expect ola and uber availability at weekends 6. Don't book hotels nearby Jama Masjid 7. There was a time where non-veg food was cherished near jama masjid, now it's average

The Jama Masjid in Old Delhi is a place that truly leaves an impression, not just for its immense size but for the history it carries within its walls. Built between 1650 and 1656 by Shah Jahan, the same Mughal emperor who gifted the world the Taj Mahal, this mosque stands as a powerful symbol of Islamic architecture. It’s more than just a building—it’s a sacred gathering place where the city’s Muslim community comes together every Friday for prayers, which is why it’s called "Jama Masjid," meaning "Friday mosque" in Arabic. Perched on an elevated platform, more than 30 steps above the bustling streets of Old Delhi, the mosque offers a sweeping view of the city, almost as if it’s watching over the daily life below. With its grand red sandstone structure adorned with delicate white marble accents, you can feel the legacy of the 5,000 workers who helped build this masterpiece. When you visit, there's a sense of reverence that comes from removing your shoes and dressing modestly—women in long dresses covering from shoulders to ankles and men in long pants, as shorts aren’t allowed. It’s not just about following the rules; it’s about stepping into a space where history and spirituality come alive in every corner.
