Quote: Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India and the last built by Shah Jahan. Upon leaving the Red Fort, we caught a rickshaw to begin our tour into Chandni Chowk. You really cannot go by any other transportation means, other than by foot. We... Read the full Jama Masjid review

Quote: The Jama Masjid is a huge mosque in Old Delhi. The gigantic courtyard is all marble, and the soaring minarets tower at every corner. As this is a mosque, you must be appropriately clad, cover arms and legs, and women will be given a scarf to cover... Read the full Jama Masjid review
