More Info

This lithograph, titled "Jama Masjid," published by Hemchander Bhargava, showcases the grandeur of Jama Masjid, one of India's most iconic mosques, located in Delhi. Built between 1650 and 1656 CE by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it stands as a remarkable example of Mughal architecture and remains the second-largest mosque in India.

The construction of the mosque required 5,000 laborers, and it was built using red sandstone and white marble, materials that reflect the exquisite craftsmanship of the era. Featuring three grand domes, two towering minarets, and an expansive courtyard that can accommodate over 25,000 worshippers, Jama Masjid continues to be a significant religious and historical landmark, representing the architectural brilliance and cultural legacy of the Mughal Empire.
