India's largest mosque, completed in 1656 by Shah Jahan, with a vast red-sandstone-and-marble courtyard that holds up to 25,000 worshippers.

Entry to the courtyard is free, but a camera/phone fee (commonly quoted around ₹300, sometimes ₹200) is collected informally at the gate for foreigners, plus roughly ₹100 to climb the minaret. These charges are not government-published (Jama Masjid is managed by a mosque committee, not ASI) and enforcement/amount varies by visit — treat the fee as likely but not fixed. Closes to visitors briefly five times daily during prayers; modest dress (long sleeves/legs, head covering for women) is required and robes are loaned at the gate if needed.
