  Jama Masjid

  The Masjid-i Jehan-Numa (literally "World-reflecting Mosque"), also known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is one of India's biggest mosques. It was established between 1650 and 1656 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and dedicated by its first Imam, Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari. It functioned as the imperial mosque of the Mughal emperors until the empire's fall in 1857, and was located in the Mughal capital of Shahjahanabad (now Old Delhi). The Jama Masjid was seen as a symbolic centre of Islamic influence across India, as well as a political location during various crucial eras of British administration. It is still in use today and is one of Delhi's most famous landmarks, intimately associated with the spirit of Old Delhi.
