Photos Of Jama Masjid
Bijapur, Karnataka, India
The Jama Masjid of Bijapur is one of the oldest and largest mosques in the Deccan. Built by Ali Adil Shah I in 1576 to commemorate his victory in the Battle of Talikota, it remains an active place of worship today. The mosque is famous for its massive proportions and its austere yet grand design. I t was never fully completed; the two minarets that were planned for the entrance were never built. Despite this, the central dome and the vast prayer hall are architectural marvels. The floor of the main hall is divided into 2,250 rectangular black squares, each representing a prayer mat for a single worshiper. These were added by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb later on. The mosque's Mihrab (prayer niche) is the most decorated part, gilded with gold and covered in Persian verses. The courtyard is huge and features a central fountain for ablutions. The mosque reflects the spiritual and political power of the Adil Shahi kingdom at its peak. It is a place of great serenity, where the silence is only broken by the call to prayer. Visitors are welcomed to witness the blend of faith and history that has stood for over four centuries.
