Jama Masjid History in Hindi

जामा मस्जिद दिल्ली में स्थित एक मस्जिद है। इसका निर्माण सन् 1656 में हुआ था। यह मस्जिद लाल पत्थरों और संगमरमर का बना हुआ है। लाल किले से महज 500 मी. की दूरी पर जामा मस्जिद स्थित है जो भारत की सबसे बड़ी मस्जिद है। इस मस्जिद का निर्माण 1650 में शाहजहां ने शुरु करवाया था। इसे बनने में 6 वर्ष का समय और 10 लाख रु.लगे थे। बलुआ पत्थर और सफेद संगमरमर से निर्मित इस मस्जिद में उत्तर और दक्षिण द्वारों से प्रवेश किया जा सकता है। पूर्वी द्वार केवल शुक्रवार को ही खुलता है। इसके बारे में कहा जाता है कि सुल्तान इसी द्वार का प्रयोग करते थे। इसका प्रार्थना गृह बहुत ही सुंदर है। इसमें ग्यारह मेहराब हैं जिसमें बीच वाला महराब अन्य से कुछ बड़ा है। इसके ऊपर बने गुंबदों को सफेद और काले संगमरमर से सजाया गया है जो निजामुद्दीन दरगाह की याद दिलाते हैं।
