Located in the busy central street of Old Delhi, in the Chandni Chowk area, the construction of this mosque was completed in 1656 AD. This beautiful construction was the result of the effort put in by 5000 workers, over a period of 6 years. According to the historians, the cost of the construction was 10 Lakh Rupees. At any given time, the front yard of the mosque can hold up to 25000 worshippers. Built under the rule of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, this mosque is the most popular and largest mosque in India. Shah Jahan is also known in the history for his other two notable constructions namely Taj Mahal in Agra and Red Fort in Delhi. |
