Mecca Masjid, Mosque in Hyderabad, India
The granite structure spans 225 feet in length, 180 feet in width, and rises 75 feet high with a rectangular courtyard covering 360 square feet.
Construction began in 1614 under Muhammad Quli Qutb Shah, the sixth Qutb Shahi Sultan, using bricks made from soil imported from Mecca.
The mosque represents Indo-Islamic architectural heritage through its grand arches, central arch measuring 70 feet high and 33 feet wide, carved from a single granite piece.
The prayer hall accommodates 20,000 worshippers at once, with separate ablution facilities and dedicated areas for religious education within the complex.
Eight thousand craftsmen worked for 77 years to complete this structure, incorporating a black stone from Mecca into its western wall.
