On the Grid : Jama Masjid

"The Jama Masjid, or 'Friday Mosque,' was designed as the main mosque of Shahjahan's city and remains the most celebrated in India. The scale is truly awe-inspiring but the many people (and birds!) it hosts at almost all times of the day humanise it. It serves as a wonderfully serene oasis in the frenetic chaos of the old city, and offers great opportunity to soak up the winter sun, or relax in the wind blowing in from the shaded arcades. Plan your visit to avoid prayer times, and climb up to the minaret (for a small fee) to catch some great views of the city. Cameras are allowed inside but are charged for separately." - Delhi Dallying
