Jama Masjid: The Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan constructed one of India's biggest mosques, Jama Masjid, between 1650 and 1656. Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari served as its first imam. The mosque is located in Shahjahanabad, the former capital of the Mughals. Until the end of the Mughal Empire in 1857, it functioned as the Mughal Emperor's imperial mosque. Even during the colonial era, the Jama Masjid was seen as a symbol of Islamic power throughout India. (Image Source: Getty)

Khirki Masjid: The mosque's many windows, or khirkis, are the reason for the name. The thick sandstone grills that cover the khirkis in the walls are closed. The mosque was built in the 13th century by Junan Shah who was the prime minister of Feroz Shah Tughlaq. (Image Source: Getty)
