اکبر آبادی مسجد Akbar Ābādī Masjid
जामा मस्जिद Jāmā Masjid
The largest mosque in India and a must-see while in Delhi. Beware of dishonest guides who will try to convince you that a tour guide is mandatory and is included in the ₹200 camera fee; they will give you an extremely hurried "tour" of the mosque and then demand a further payment of ₹200-300 for the tour. You can climb to the top of the minaret for ₹100 (locals maybe ₹20). The climb is steep, dark and somewhat claustrophobic, but you'll get great views over the complex and the city. You'll need to cover up your shoulders and legs (scarves and lungis available for rental - about ₹10), and take off your shoes (expect to tip the shoe minder, ₹5 is plenty, or carry your shoes with you in your own bag). Pictures should not be taken during prayer hours. If you're going to sit down don't look too comfortable. Certainly don't eat or become too engrossed in any reading material you may be carrying, the rule is that non-Muslims must make their visits brief and guards will usher along visitors who linger.
Covered Bazaar
True to the name, this is a covered bazaar between the gate and the fort itself, now filled with souvenir hawkers.
श्री दिगंबर जैन लाल मंदिर Shrī Digambar Jain Lāl Mandir
The oldest Jain temple in Delhi, said to be built during the rule of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in 1656. The temple compound also has a bird hospital, which treats about 15,000 birds a year. There is also a bookstore in the complex where a wide range of books on Jainism is available, apart from unique curios and souvenirs related to the religion. You should take off your shoes and all other leather goods and hand it to the concerned person before you enter the temple complex.
लाल क़िला Lāl Qilā
One of Delhi's top tourist sights and listed as a . A brilliant red sandstone fort was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan (who also built the Taj Mahal) as his ruling palace. Completed in 1648, the years since have not treated the buildings kindly: the rooms have long since been stripped of all objects, the marble inlays are long gone and quite a few buildings are off-limits. Still, the scale remains imposing and the gardens are kept lush and green even in midwinter.
