Jama Masjid

One of India's biggest mosques, the Jama Masjid, was Shah Jahan's final work of architecture. Jama Masjid ranks 7th in the list of best places to visit in New Delhi. This stunning building, which was finished in 1658, has three gateways, four angled towers, and two 40-meter-tall minarets made of red sandstone and white marble that are tastefully alternated in vertical stripes.

Visit the big central pool where people wash their faces before prayers after ascending to the top of the southern minaret for breathtaking views of Old Delhi. Please be aware that non-Muslims are not allowed during prayers and that visitors must remove their shoes and dress suitably before entering. After that, be sure to get to Chandni Chowk, which is Old Delhi's broad main avenue and a market area where you may shop and eat. Particularly fascinating are the well-known spice markets of Naya Bazaar and Gadodial, where hundreds of goods are on exhibit, including aniseed, ginger, pomegranate, saffron, lotus seeds, pickles, and chutneys.
