Jama Masjid - Delhi, India - Mosques on Waymarking.com

"The largest mosque in India capable to accommodate around 25,000 devotees during prayer, Delhi Jama Masjid ranks among the worlds’ most popular Muslim religious sites. An inseparable part of Delhi tourism, this architectural extravaganza was constructed by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan between 1644 and 1656. Brought out with impressive detailing over the minarets, domes, arches and doors, this highly decorative masjid comprises four grand towers, three huge gates. The minarets are 40m high and made of red sandstone and white marbles. The mosque is about 261 feet (80 m) long and 90 feet (27 m) wide. To make resemblance with the Jama Masjid of Agra, the floor of this mosque had been covered with white and black ornamented marbles (making it look like a Muslim prayer mat). The inlay detailing in the interior arches looks impressive till date. The northern gate of Delhi Jama Masjid has 39 steps and the southern side has 33 steps. The eastern gate to this mosque was made for the rural entrance and it has 35 steps." (visit link)
