Hotel Delhi Heights : Jama Masjid Tour

Jama Masjid- One of the biggest mosques in India neat Red Fort. It is closed for non muslims every Friday for tow hours during mid day prayers. It is one of the few mosques where women can enter. Bare feet and suitable attire which can be hired at the northern gate is a must. The courtyard has a capacity of 25, 000 people. A magnificent architectural gift, by emperor Shah Jahan completed in 1658, has three gateways, four angle towers and two minerates. The greatest merit of Jama Masjid is that no matter, when, at what point of the day and from which direction you look at it, its grandeur never fails to overwhelm you.
