Jama Mosque, Mosque in Mathura, India
The Jama Mosque is a mosque in Mathura featuring four minarets, three domes, and an elevated courtyard with rectangular pavilions. These pavilions have curved roofs and pointed arches characteristic of Mughal design.
A governor commissioned this red sandstone building in 1661 under Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb after acquiring the land from local people. It became an important religious structure in the city.
The facade displays ninety-nine names of Allah in Persian script, showing how Islamic calligraphy was woven into the building's decoration.
The building sits at the highest point in Mathura and is open throughout the day. Visitors are expected to wear modest clothing when entering this sacred space.
The rectangular pavilions blend two building styles: curved roofs from local Indian traditions meet pointed arches from Persian architecture. This mixing of regional and foreign elements shows how Mughal architects created something new.
