Itinerary
1
Jama Masjid
Your day begins with a visit to the majestic Jama Masjid, also known as Masjid e Jahan Numa—meaning "World-Reflecting Mosque." Located in the heart of Old Delhi, it is one of India’s largest and most revered mosques.
Commissioned by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan—the visionary behind the Taj Mahal—it was built between 1650 and 1656 at a cost of one million rupees and inaugurated by Imam Syed Abdul Ghafoor Shah Bukhari from Bukhara (now in Uzbekistan).
The mosque features three monumental gates, two 40-meter-high minarets, and three domes on a grand terrace. Made from red sandstone and white marble, it is a striking example of Mughal architecture.
The vast courtyard accommodates over 25,000 worshippers, with 899 black prayer spaces elegantly marked on the marble floor. Its architectural layout also resembles the Badshahi Masjid in Lahore, built by Shah Jahan’s son, Aurangzeb.
A visit to Jama Masjid offers a rich glimpse into Islamic heritage, artistic splendor, and spiritual traditions.

India Gate
The India Gate (originally the All India War Memorial) is a grand war memorial located along Rajpath in New Delhi. It commemorates the 70,000 soldiers of the British Indian Army who lost their lives between 1914 and 1921 during World War I. These soldiers fought in France, Flanders, Mesopotamia, Persia, East Africa, Gallipoli, and other regions across the Near and Far East. The names of 13,300 servicemen—including several from the United Kingdom—are inscribed on the monument, making it a powerful symbol of sacrifice and remembrance.

Red Fort

Built by Emperor Shah Jahan, the fort becomes the focal point of national pride every Independence Day, when the Prime Minister hoists the tricolour and addresses the nation from its historic ramparts. Its striking red sandstone walls and majestic architecture make it a perfect spot for memorable photos and a glimpse into India’s rich Mughal legacy.
