Work
on the Jama Masjid mosque was begun in 1650 by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan
to complement his palace at the Red Fort. More than 5,000 workers toiled for
six years to complete the largest mosque in India. Every Friday, the emperor
and his retinue would travel in state from the fort to the mosque to attend
the congressional prayers.![]() ![]() |
