Jama Masjid, Fatehpur Sikri, Congregational mosque in Fatehpur Sikri, India

Located at the highest point of Fatehpur Sikri, this red sandstone mosque features a large courtyard with an ablution tank and three entrance gates.

Emperor Akbar commissioned this mosque between 1571 and 1574 as part of his new capital city, making it the largest mosque in the Mughal Empire.

The mosque combines Islamic, Hindu, and Jain architectural elements, reflecting the integration of different building traditions under Mughal rule.

The rectangular prayer hall measures 89 meters by 20 meters, with the central area accommodating thousands of worshippers during religious gatherings.

The eastern gate, known as Badshahi Darwaza, contains cut mosaics and served as the personal entrance for Emperor Akbar.
