The Masjid-i Jahan-Numa, commonly known as the Jama Masjid of Delhi, is the principal masjid of Old Delhi in India. Commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, builder of the Taj Mahal, and complete in the year 1656 AD, it is the largest and best-known masjid in India. It lies at the lineage of a very busy central street of Old Delhi, Chandni Chowk.
