dilli, a photo from Delhi, North

Photographer's Note

The Jama Masjid, completed in the year 1656 AD, was the result of the efforts of over 5,000 workers, over a period of six years. The cost incurred on the construction in those times was 10 lakh (1 million) Rupees.

Shah Jahan built several important mosques in Delhi, Agra, Ajmer and Lahore. The Jama Masjid's floorplan is very similar to the Jama Masjid at Agra, but the Jama Masjid is the bigger and more imposing of the two. Its majesty is further enhanced because of the high ground that he selected for building this mosque. The architecture and design of the Badshahi Masjid of Lahore built by Shah Jahan's son Aurangzeb in 1673 is closely related to the Jama Masjid in Delhi.

Hi Avishek,
You chose a nice POV to create this dynamic composition. The monument in the background looks great from this POV. The violet colour tone of the sky looks a bit unnatural! Otherwise, fantastic.

Avishek
