Jama Masjid, Monument of National Importance in Agra, India
The Jama Masjid stands on an elevated platform, featuring two minarets reaching 130 feet high and a prayer hall measuring 90 by 200 feet.
The mosque was constructed between 1650 and 1656 under the patronage of Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, who dedicated it to his daughter Jahanara Begum.
Persian calligraphic inscriptions adorn the entrances of the prayer hall, reflecting the Islamic traditions and Mughal architectural influences of the period.
The mosque accommodates 25,000 people in its 325-foot square courtyard, with a series of 30 steps leading to the main entrance.
Red sandstone forms the primary construction material, complemented by white marble accents throughout the structure's architectural elements.
