The world's largest mosque: Jama Masjid.

Jama Masjid (India) Located in the northeast corner of Old Delhi, Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India (Jama means "big") and was once the largest mosque in the world. Jama Masjid was built by a large group of craftsmen organized by Emperor Shah Jahan. Construction began in 1650, and it took more than 5,000 workers a total of 6 years to build, costing 1 million rupees. The mosque is tall and solemn, built on a high platform on a rocky hill, about 9 meters above the ground. From a distance, the three white domes and two towering minarets are majestic against the blue sky and white clouds. There are three gates leading to the main body of the mosque, the largest of which is the east gate, which is for the emperor's exclusive use. There are three white marble domes on the top of the mosque, dotted with gilded studs and black marble strips, which are particularly bright under the blue sky. The two towering minarets in the south and north are named Yili Tower, which is built with red sandstone and white marble. There are 130 steps in the tower, and visitors can climb to the top of the tower to watch the bustling view of Old Delhi. Jama Masjid is known as an "architectural miracle". The entire mosque does not use wood. The ground, walls, and ceiling are all made of finely carved white stone, sealed with lead, which is very strong. The stone used in the temple is very strict in selection, and the color matching is very particular. Among the white marble, there are black marble stripes, black and white, beautiful and eye-catching. The red sandstone wall around the mosque makes it more magnificent. The main hall of the temple faces east to the west, and there is a white marble slab in the middle, with the word "Mecca" (a holy place in Islam, located in Saudi Arabia) inlaid with black marble, which is black and white, and is particularly solemn. Delhi was once a city where Muslims lived. After the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, a large number of Muslims moved to Pakistan, but there are still a large number of Muslims in Delhi. Jama Masjid is a place where they worship, and a large number of Muslims come here every day to recite the Quran. During the national uprising in 1857, the British colonial army retaliated against the people of Delhi who rebelled, and the Grand Mosque was closed for as long as 5 years, and even threatened to blow it up. After the people of Delhi paid 200,000 rupees, they returned to the Muslims. - "Approaching the World's Famous Temples"
