Jama Masjid in the old city of Delhi is the largest mosque in India. Built between 1644 and 1658, Jama Masjid (Friday Mosque) is one of the last architectural works of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.

The first three storeys of the Jama Masjid tower are made of red sandstone and the fourth one is made of marble, while the fifth is made of sandstone. The Jama Masjid is covered with intricate carvings and has verses inscribed from the holy Koran.

From an architectural photography point of view I was a little disappointed by the canvas awnings obscuring the facade. However, I soon learned that the awnings and mats were being put in place for the Friday prayers which can attract up to 20,000 worshippers.
