Masjid-i-Jehan-Numa (Persian: مسجدِ جهان نما), commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is one of the largest mosques in India.
It was built by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656, and inaugurated by its first Imam, Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari. Situated in the Mughal capital of Shahjahanabad (today Old Delhi), it served as the imperial mosque of the Mughal emperors until the demise of the empire in 1857.
The Jama Masjid was regarded as a symbolic gesture of Islamic power across India, well into the colonial era. It was also a site of political significance during several key periods of British rule. It remains in active use, and is one of Delhi's most iconic sites, closely identified with the ethos of Old Delhi.

Begging at the JAMA MASHID MOSQUE in PANJIM GOA
during JUMMAH............
Sometimes beggars do not take too kindly to my propensity to shoot them.
I am too preoccupied with my shoot so i am not dishing out rupees and that doesn't set well with those at their own job....
and they can become irate at times.
Puzzled is also a good description.
Looking quite foreign and out of place they sometimes find me as interesting as i find them.
I usually wear a baseball cap on backwards and shorts.
i work hard...........very hard............!

Jama Masjid, Delhi
The Masjid-i Jahān-Numā, (the 'World-reflecting Mosque'), commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal mosque of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and completed in the year 1628 AD, it is the largest and best-known mosque in India. It lies at the origin of a very busy central street of Old Delhi, the Chawri Bazar Road.
The later name, Jama Masjid, is a reference to the weekly Friday noon congregation prayers of Muslims, Jummah, which are usually done at a mosque, the "congregational mosque" or "jāmi' masjid". The courtyard of the mosque can hold up to twenty-five thousand worshippers. The mosque also houses several relics in a closet in the north gate, including an antique copy of the Qur'an written on deer skin.
The foundation of the historic Jama Masjid was laid on a hillock in Shahjahanabad by fifth Mughal Emperor of India, Shahjahan, on Friday, October 19,1650 AD, (10th Shawwal 1060 AH). The mosque was the result of the efforts of over 5,000 workers, over a period of seven years.[1] The cost incurred on the construction in those times was 10 lakh (1 million) Rupees, and it was the same Emperor who also built the Taj Mahal, at Agra and the Red Fort, which stands opposite the Jama Masjid, which was finally ready in 1656 AD (1066 AH), complete with three great gates, four towers and two 40 m-high minarets constructed of strips of red sandstone and white marble. About 25,000 people can pray here at a time. The mosque has a vast paved rectangular courtyard, which is nearly 75 m by 66 m. The whole of the western chamber is a big hall standing on 260 pillars all carved from Hindu and Jain traditions. The central courtyard is accessible from the East. The Eastern side entrance leads to another enclosure containing the mausoleum of Sultan Ahmed Shah.
The mosque is about 22561 feet (8058m) long and 258258 inch feet (549 m) wide, and its roof is covered with eight domes with repated stripes of purple and white marble, with its lowermost parts covered with loasd. Two lofty minarets, 130 feet (41 m) high, and containing 130 steps, longitudinally striped with white marble and red sandstone, flank the domes on either side. The minarets are divided by three projecting galleries and are surmounted by open twelve-sided domed pavilions. On the back of the mosque, there are four small minarets crowned like those in the front.
Under the domes of the mosque, is a hall with seven arched entrances facing the west and the walls of the mosque, up to the height of the waist, are covered with marble. Beyond this is a prayer hall, which is about 61 meters X 27.5 meters, with eleven arched entrances, of which the centre arch is wide and lofty, and in the form of a massive gateway, with slim minarets in each corner, with the usual octagonal pavilion surmounting it. Over these arched entrances there are tablets of white marble, four feet (1.2 m) long and 2.5 feet (760 mm) wide, inlaid with inscriptions in black marble. These inscriptions give the history of the building of the mosque, and glorify the reign and virtues of Shah Jahan. The slab over the centre arch contains simply the words "The Guide!"

The photo is about Jummah prayer of Muslim people. In every friday Muslim people go for taking Jummah Salah. They take jummah instead of taking Johor Salah like everyday. It is like a reunion for all Muslim brothers. They take their salah together and it increases their brotherhood.
Taken moments before prayer—Riyadh’s streets never fail to surprise.

While living in India, I was constantly told, by Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs and Buddhists (I didn't meet any Jains!) that a visit to the Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, was a must. One afternoon, after a busy day of, well, medical tourism - off I went.
On arrival I was let straight through, already wearing my kurta pajama (many Westerners need to borrow shawls and the like to cover up their legs and arms) into the huge central area which was surprisingly quiet. A beautiful afternoon, with the sun already low on the horizon, accentuated the beauty of the Islamic design, lending it further warmness. Birds circled in the sky and then, it was off to Chandni Chowk to sample some local delights.

Jummah Prayer (Friday Prayer) in Manhattan (thanx 4 the correction) NY this was the Eid,The city of New York had to close down the whole Block so the Muslims would have room to pray,Allahu Akhbar!!!
JUMMAH
Why do Muslims look to the left and right when they pray?
'Peace be upon you, and the mercy and blessings of Allah' is repeated turning to the left side now. Muslims believe the Angel on the right side records all good actions and thoughts, while the one on the left records all bad actions

La mesquita del Divendres (també coneguda com a Jama Masjid) està situada al centre antic de Delhi (Nova Delhi, Índia), propera al Fort Roig.
La mesquita es va aixecar gràcies a la voluntat de Xa Jahan (emperador mogol entre el 1627 i 1658). La seva construcció va començar el 1650 i es va acabar el 1656. Es tracta d'un edifici de grans dimensions on es poden aplegar unes 25.000 persones.
Es troba en una zona elevada a la que s'accedeix per tres escalinates, al nord, llevant i sud. Aquestes escales comuniquen, a través de portes monumentals amb un gran pati obert encarat a ponent, costat on es troba la part coberta, molt reduïda en relació amb el conjunt, els altres tres costats estan limitats per un tancament d'arcs. El mihrab (a ponent) es troba a la zona porxada (61 x 27,5 m) formada per set arcs que s'obren a la sala d'oracions coberta amb tres cúpules bulboses, és aquí on es troben també els dos alts minarets rematats amb chattri hindús. Bàsicament està bastida amb pedra sorrenca i marbre. Aquest tipus de construcció es repeteix, amb una planta gairebé igual, a la mesquita Badshahi de Lahore.
