Thanks to #Sharonwalterstravel and #Alluring India for setting up a great trip! And the guide through Alluring India, Vikram could not have been better!

The Jama Masjid, India's largest mosque, was commissioned by Shah Jahan, the same emperor who erected the Taj Mahal. The mosque was completed after six years of labor by more than 5,000 workers. The courtyard, below, can accommodate 25,000 people.
