Why go
The raised courtyard changes your view of the surrounding market streets, while the mosque’s gateways, striped domes and minarets show the ambition of Shah Jahan’s Delhi. Come to observe the building respectfully, and leave room to explore Chandni Chowk rather than rushing through both.
What to look for
- The broad courtyard reached by flights of steps
- Red sandstone and white marble minarets beside the striped domes
Useful to know
- Check the current visitor guidance before you go, especially if your visit could overlap Friday midday prayers.
- Pair the mosque with nearby Old Delhi streets, allowing time to approach on foot through the busy district.
