Shia Jama Masjid, Delhi

The Shia Jama Masjid features three large domes, two tall minarets, and numerous intricate embellishments throughout its stone structure and courtyards.

The mosque emerged during the Mughal period, reflecting the architectural principles and religious practices that characterized the imperial influence in Delhi.

This religious center holds special importance during Muharram, when Muslims participate in mourning rituals and gather for communal prayers.

The mosque maintains specific dress codes for visitors, requiring loose clothing that covers shoulders and knees, with head coverings mandatory for entry.

The position of imam at Shia Jama Masjid follows a hereditary succession, with Hujjatul-Islam Syed Mohsin Ali Taqvi currently leading religious services.
