Description: | The Jami Masjid (1644-58), the largest mosque in India was built by Shah Jahan and named after Jahanara, his favourite eldest daughter, who was imprisoned with him by Aurangzeb. It stands on a natural outcrop of rock which dominates the city and took 5,000 workmen six years to build. The eastern gateway was opened only for the emperor, or later the Governor-General. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Rights holder: | British Library | Subjects: | Mosques | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Shepherd and Robertson | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
