The Jama
Masjid or Great
Mosque is
a
major mosque built
in
historic
center
of Budaun,Uttar
Pradesh.
The
mosque
was
built
by Iltutmish,
the
ruler
of Delhi
Sultanate that
time.
This
mosque
reflects Persian and Afghan architecture.
It
has
three
gates:
the
main
gate,
facing
Shakeel
Road,
is
made
up
of
red
marble
and
stands
100
feet
tall.
The
second
gate
is
in
Farshori
Tola
and
the
third
one
in
Sotha.
It
has
a
central
dome
surrounded
by
two
more
domes,
and
5
other
domes
too.
The
floor
is
made
from
white
marble
(SangeMarMar).
It
has
a
"Hauz"(pond)
and
three
"WuzuKhana"(Washroom
and
sitting
Room)
on
its
premises.
Two
sides
of
mosque
are
occupied
by
residential
blocks:
the
Jama
Masjid
Quarters.
This
mosque
is
the
third
oldest
existing
and
second
largest
mosque
of
the
country
after Delhi's
Jama
Masjid,
having
a
standard
capacity
of
23500.
The
built
up
part[clarification
needed] of
the
mosque
is
larger
than
any
other
mosque
of
the
country.
Before
the
expansion
of
Delhi's
Jama
Masjid,
it
was
the
largest
and
most
famous
mosque
of
the
country.
The
central
dome
of
the
mosque
is
considered
to
be
the
largest
for
any
dome
of
mosque
in
the
country.
It
is
also
a
Monument
of
National
Importance
and
a
National
Heritage
Site.
This
is
one
of
the
oldest
and
largest
mosques
of
India.
Situated
in
Badaun
district
Uttar
Pradesh.
It
was
the
largest
mosque
of
India
before
the
development
of
Jama
Masjid,
Delhi.
Peculiar
for
its
complete
whiteness
It
is
said
to
have
the
largest
dome.
