Teave

Kiired faktid: Rohkem kui 80 000 inimest saab siin korraga palvetada, jaotudes laiuvale hoovile ja sammashallidele. Selle ehitamine algas 1800. aastate lõpus naisvalitseja Nawab Shah Jahan Begumi ajal ning jätkus etappide kaupa aastakümnete vältel.

Esiletõstmised: Kui kõndida peasissepääsust sisse, tervitab teid roosa fassaad, mis muudab tooni vastavalt päikesevalgusele, särades loojangul peaaegu koralliselt. Kaks kõrget minaretti, kumbki 66 meetrit kõrge, raamivad suurt basseini, kus terve mošee peegeldub vaiksetel päevadel nagu peegel.

Sisekujunduse nõuanded

Bring a wide-angle lens or phone with a panorama mode to capture the scale of the courtyard and the full reflection in the pool.
Visit on a Friday around noon to hear the call to prayer echo through the halls, but arrive early as it gets crowded.
Cover your head and remove shoes before entering the prayer hall, scarves are available at the entrance if you forget.
The upstairs galleries offer a quieter viewpoint overlooking the main courtyard and are often overlooked by visitors.
