๐Ÿ•Œ Jama Masjid, Delhi โ€“ A Spiritual Marvel in the Heart of Delhi ๐ŸŒ™

Standing tall amidst the chaos of Old Delhi, Jama Masjid is one of the largest and most magnificent mosques in India. Built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656, this architectural wonder blends red sandstone and white marble with breathtaking elegance. โœจ With three grand gates, four towers, and two towering minarets, the mosque can hold over 25,000 worshippers at once. Whether you're here to admire its Mughal artistry, soak in the peace, or climb the minaret for panoramic views of Delhi โ€“ Jama Masjid never disappoints. ๐Ÿ‘ฃ Step inside barefoot and feel the cool marble under your feet as the scent of incense and sounds of prayer fill the air. The experience is deeply calming, even for non-religious visitors. ๐Ÿง• Modest clothing is required โ€“ robes are available at the entrance if needed. --- โฐ Timings Open daily: 7:00 AM โ€“ 12:00 PM, 1:30 PM โ€“ 6:30 PM ๐Ÿ› Closed to tourists during prayer hours (especially Fridays & Eid) --- ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ Entry Fees โœ… Entry: Free ๐Ÿ“ท Camera fee: โ‚น300 (if you carry a phone or DSLR for photos) ๐Ÿง— Minaret climb: Approx. โ‚น100 (not advised for those scared of heights) --- ๐Ÿงญ How to Reach ๐Ÿ“ Location: Opposite Red Fort, Old Delhi ๐Ÿš‡ Nearest Metro: Jama Masjid (Violet Line) or Chawri Bazar (Yellow Line) ๐Ÿ›บ Best explored by foot, rickshaw, or cycle through the surrounding bazaars --- โœจ Why Visit?
