Jama Masjid is the largest mosque in India, and stands across the road from the Red Fort. Built in 1656, it is an eloquent reminder of the Mughal religious fervour. Its spacious courtyard holds thousands of the faithful who offer prayers. The area surrounding Jama Masjid is like another World. Located in the centre of the old city, the Mosque sits on top of a large hill, projecting high into the Old-Delhi skyline. You can hire a guide who can explain the history, show you the footprint of Mohammed the Prophet. You can climb the tower of Jama Masjid and get a great view over the city as well as you can hear the sounds of Indian street-life. Jama Masjid Mosquee was built by 5000 artisans, with red sandstone and marble. At the bottom of this facades spreads a 100 meters sq esplanade where up to 25000 prayers group on the pray days. Once you are out on the streets, you can see various small and beautifully designed rikshaws. The ride is inexpensive and very cost effective, but always watch your bags. Inspite of this, you should still not miss the experience of a rikshaw ride as you can relish and have fun, while watching the various places of Old Delhi.
