Everytime I visit the Jama Masjid and the Dargah of Salim Cishti I feel a sense of peace and the grace of God and the Saint which is eternal.

We nearly did not go to see this mosque because of he location. It's situated in the heart of OLD DEHLI. It's not far from Chandni Chok which is one of the worlds famous wholesale market. I am so glad we did, it's an amazing place. Once you climb up from the hustle and bustle of the market on your... More

It was a huge masjid. The open courtyard with lots of pigeons provided lots of gorgeous photo ops with my son as the main model, lol. The masjid interior itself was beautiful, and oh so peaceful. Take wudhu in the courtyard (something new to us as our wudhu is usually done via tap in Singapore)

This is the largest mosque em Old Delhi and can hold up to twenty-five thousand people! The beautiful thing of mosque is that you pray, you chat, you relax... Though I was wearing long trousers and long sleeved shirt, and my head covered with a shawl (as i always do when visiting mosques and temples, Hindu or otherwise) even so,... More

Interesting place to visit, however, we were instantly accosted by a man claiming to be the caretaker, who took us on a brief tour (our own fault - we should've said no) and then told us to give him money for his charity and himself. However, don't let this put you off: for the streets around the Jama Masjid are... More

If you are in Delhi, don't forget to visit Jama Masjid. The best time to visit is early in the day, or in the evening, but take note that it is closed around 1pm and admittance is only granted to practicing Muslims who wish to pray. Also, be aware that admission to this site is completely free, though there are... More

Dirty. Beggars everywhere. Spent 15 minutes here and that was too long. Charged 300 Rupees to take my camera in. The ticket says 200 but has been altered by felt tip pen to 300. Not worth taking a camera and most other temples that are very much better than here do not charge. I believe the guide took some or... More
