Fatehpur Sikri Jama Masjid

The Jama Masjid is a grand square-shaped mosque, featuring a vast central courtyard. The prayer hall is located on the western side, while the other three sides are surrounded by cloisters. Most visitors enter through the eastern gate 🚪. 🆓 No ticket is required to enter the mosque, but shoes must be removed before stepping inside. On sunny days, walking barefoot on the scorching stone slabs can feel like grilling your soles 🔥—so tread carefully! 👗 Dress code: Visitors must cover their shoulders and legs (long pants or skirts are required). If you're not properly dressed, free scarves are provided outside the mosque. 🏰 On the southern side of the mosque stands a massive gateway known as the Buland Darwaza (Gate of Magnificence) 🌟. This towering structure, built to celebrate Akbar’s victory in Gujarat, stands 54 meters high and is one of the largest gateways in the world! ✨ Pro Tip: Visit in the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat—and don’t forget to admire the stunning Persian calligraphy decorating the walls! #New Delhi#Jama Masjid#travel guide#trip diary#India#India guide#India New Delhi
