Islam & the Muslim Community in New Delhi

Jama Masjid – one of the largest mosques in India

New Delhi, the heart of India, is home to one of the country's most historic Muslim communities. The Walled City (Shahjahanabad), built by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in the 17th century, remains a crown jewel of Islamic heritage in South Asia. The towering Jama Masjid — constructed between 1644 and 1656 — can accommodate over 25,000 worshippers and stands as a powerful symbol of Delhi's Islamic legacy. From Lodi Garden's 15th-century tombs to Humayun's Tomb and Nizamuddin Dargah, the city breathes centuries of Sufi tradition and Mughal grandeur.
