Commissioned by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, construction began in 1644 and was completed in 1656, during the same period that saw the creation of the Red Fort and the city of Shahjahanabad. Built from red sandstone and white marble, the mosque is elevated on a high plinth, with grand stairways, expansive courtyards, and towering minarets that dominate the skyline of Delhi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The mosque was inaugurated by its first Imam, Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari, and continues to function as an active place of worship to this day. Its vast courtyard can accommodate thousands of worshippers, especially during important Islamic gatherings and festivals. Beyond its religious significance, Jama Masjid remains a key cultural and historical landmark, offering visitors a glimpse into Mughal architectural excellence and the living traditions of Old Delhi, where the rhythms of daily life continue to unfold around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Timing:<\/strong> 08.00 AM till Sunset<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Open: All Days<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Entrance Fee:<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>INR 400 Per Person (Foreign Tourist)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Free for Indian Tourist<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6912,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"city":[66],"country":[61],"class_list":["post-6911","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","city-delhi","country-india"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place\/6911","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/place"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/place"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6912"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6911"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"city","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/city?post=6911"},{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theformloop.com\/greentreks\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=6911"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
