The Jama Masjid in Delhi happens to be the most elaborate and the largest mosque in India. This magnificent and peaceful place of worship in Delhi was originally named as the Masjid-I-Jahanuma. With three massive gateways, four artistically built towers and two lovely minarets, the Jama Masjid in Delhi mirrors a fascinating blend of white marble and red sandstone.The term Masjid-I-Jahanuma basically meant that this place of worship commanded a view of the entire world.Located on the ancient city of Bho Jala, that was an integral part of Shahjahanbad, the grand Jama Masjid has a massive marble courtyard that has the capacity to comfortably accommodate about 25,000 devotees at a time.
