Jama Masjid is one of India’s largest mosques.
The mosque is located in the heart of Old Delhi.
It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1656.
Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan is the same man that commissioned the Taj Mahal.
It features red sandstone and white marble architecture, with three towering domes and two minarets.
The mosque can accommodate over 25,000 worshipers and is a central place for prayer and Islamic gatherings.
Amidst the chaos of Old Delhi, Jama Masjid offers a quiet respite.
Watching this man clean the mosque
floor by rhythmically swinging a stick of wood with cloth strips mesmerized me.
It seemed
so peaceful after the chaos of the market.
I am sure many people have found peace here over the centuries.
