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.
Delhi is located in northern India and is the country's capital.
As of 2025 Delhi's metropolitan area population is estimated to be approximately 34.67 million.
It is "estimated" because censuses are taken every 10 years, and in 2021, the census year, it was not taken because of COVID.
The population density is about 11,900 individuals per square kilometer, making it one of the most densely populated regions in the world.
Delhi has a rich history, dating back over 2,500 years.
It has been the seat of many empires, including the Delhi Sultanate and the Mughal Empire.
I have to admit, I felt intimidated.
