Today I will visit Jama Masjid first. It opens at 8 AM for foreigners and 10 AM for locals. So I started from accommodation before time, so that I can reach there on time. It is best if you get up early to visit Sunehri Masjid. Then visit Jame Masjid on time. Then visit the remaining places one by one, so that you have good time to visit the rest of the places.
Our starting point is Jama Masjid Metro station (Violet Line).
Jama Masjid
Mosque
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan built the Jama Masjid on the highest point of Shahjahanabad between 1650 and 1656. It was built by about 6000 workers. The mosque was inaugurated on July 23, 1656. The original name of the mosque was 'Masjid-e-Jehan-Numa' given by Shah Jahan. Now 'Jami Masjid' has become common to people. The mosque was one of the last monuments built under Shah Jahan. After its completion, it served as the royal mosque of the emperors until the end of the Mughal period.
It is one of the largest mosque in India. The mosque has three entrances. Gate-1 is located in the South.
Gate-2 is located on the east side. It is larger than two others.
Gate-3 is located on the north side. This gate is open at 8 AM only for foreigners entry with a entry fee 300 Rupees (US$ 3.66). Everyone can enter after 10 AM.
From the back side (northwest end road) view of the mosque.
After entering the gate there is a large courtyard, which can accommodate 25,000 worshipers. In the center of the courtyard is a marble ablution tank. The main prayer hall is located at the western end. Two 40 meters high minarets on the both side of the main prayer hall. Each minaret consists of 130 steps.
There is a story that after building the mosque, Shah Jahan insisted that no one could pray in the mosque until Prophet Muhammad came to the mosque. He posted a huge guard at the gate so that no one could enter the mosque. Once he saw in a dream that the Prophet Muhammad was performing ablution in the north-west corner of the tank located in the middle of the mosque premises. Shah Jahan then came to the mosque with his army and told everyone about his dream and the place where Muhammad was performing ablution. Everyone entered the mosque, and saw that the place where Muhammad was performing ablution in the dream was wet with water. That means someone has performed ablution at that place, but the mosque was so guarded that no one could enter. Finally everyone realized that what Shah Jahan wanted had happened. Since then the place was cordoned off with an iron cage, so that no one could sit there, and the mosque was opened for prayers.
I entered the main prayer hall.
You can go up the South Minaret. For this you need to buy a ticket for 50 Rupees from the south end counter inside the premises. A few meters south of the South Minaret.
A very small entrance with tiny stairway, is located on the west side inside Gate-1. When you exit through Gate 1, it is located on the right, inside Gate-1 just before the exit.
You have to go up a small staircase again to the entrance gate to the minaret. Here you have to keep the bag in front of the minaret gate. There an old man took 20 Rupees without a ticket to keep his bags and shoes.
Now you have to go up the minaret stairs. The top space is also small.

Javed Khan was the caretaker of the mosque and was very favorable to the Begum. He was later killed.
Nawab Ahmad Bakhsh Khan, father of the Nawab of Ferozepur (reigned 1351–1388), repaired the mosque for the benefit of the surrounding people.

Jain Temple
The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (1628–1658) invited several Agrawal Jain merchants to settle in the city and granted them some land. The Jain first temple here was built at this place in 1656.
According to Balabhadra Jain, Shah Jahan's successor Aurangzeb once ordered the banning of all musical instruments in temples. Miraculously, the sound of drums could be heard from the temple despite the visits of Mughal officers. Aurangzeb himself visited the temple to witness the miracle and eventually lifted the ban. Balabhadra Jain states that one of the idols in the temple dates back to 1491, and was originally founded by Bhattaraka Jinachandra.
The present temple buildings were built after the fall of the Mughal Empire and from 1878 onward.
There are several Jain temples in the area but the main one is of Lord Mahavira, the 24th and last Tirthankara of the present era. Born as a prince in Bihar in 599 BC, he leaved all worldly comforts and went in search of salvation. He soon gained enlightenment, and spent the rest of his life preaching to people all over the country. Although some believe that he was the founder of Jainism but in reality he was a reformer of an existing religion who reformulated and presented the principles of the religion in a form suitable for the age.
