Tthis mosque is located near sadar bazaar railway station , or you have to walk around 1-1.5 km from old delhi railway station or from Red fort .This mosque is hard to notice in between the market there are lot of shops around the mosque and you can easily miss it , but when you enter from one of the three main gates you will be surprised to see that a lot of space is available for the mosque and very peaceful and relaxing after spending hours in market
MashaAllah🥀 a great masjid🕌Little bit copy of jama masjid but small in area wiseVery peaceful and calming place✌️🥀

It is a nice monument for tourist who comes in Chandni Chowk and Delhi to see its old Heritage historical monuments.

The construction of this beautiful mosque in Delhi boasts Mughal architecture with an element of Persian and Indian design. The entire mosque is built with red sandstone which adds a unique charm in the grandeur of this beautiful tourist place in Delhi. Besides, the mosque has three gates; the first one is right in the front of Red Fort, whereas, the other two are located on the north and south side. The north end is Khari Baoli and the south end is Katra Baryan. There also a courtyard located in the centre of the mosque which is also laid with red sandstones. Moreover, the mosque complex also includes verandas with a height of 12 ft that are built on both sides of the arch. In the courtyard, there is a large tank which is now used for washing and cleansing. Furthermore, the pulpit of the mosque is made up of white marble.

Awesome Dry Fruits Market with Reasonable🙂🙂 prices All Quality available.
A calm and soothing place in mid of a chaos.
Construction is going on there at the moment and still there was so much crowd, it was quite suffocating and full of dust. Id not suggest to go there in these days to avoid getting exhausted from walking around and dust.
Must visit atleast once to find peace
Best place to buy Dry Fruits and Masalas
Very busy market. U will get all dry fruits at fair price ..and best quality
Since my maternal grandfather once told me an incident about a bird speaking a Quranic verse praising Allah Subhana wa taala in this masjid, I became interested to visit the mosque. I came two times but in a rush and finally the third time, i could perform namaz e juma and spend few more minutes and sing salaam of Aala Hazrat. It was a nice experience.
This is big masjid in between purani Delhi
Usual visit to Chandani Chowk. They are doing big renovation which would finally the glory and pedestrians in to this place.
Too much crowd good whole sale market if bulk purchase.
Well centrally located in heart of Delhi you can take rickshaw mind of taking cars due to narrow road if you are known to such crazy driving. Once you visit the Mosque you will feel at some serene place leaving behind the chaos. A must visit, especially in early morning before 8:00 am to connect with your soul.
Must visit masjid in Purani delhi
Beautifull inside. Calm place to relax and prayer etc. Suprisingly peacefull masjid while surrounded by very populatwd area.
I usually visit the specs market around fatehpuri maszid as it is the cheapest market in Delhi.

Flanked by minarets, the mosque has a traditional design with the prayer hall having seven-arched openings. The mosque has single and double-storeyed apartments on the sides.The central iwan in the middle is flanked by three arches on each side.
This is a good place for pilgrims. You can go on the terrace too which is about 2-3 storey high, by the right side gate. At the back you can see and smell a huge spice market.
When in old Delhi , go to the terrace of Fatehpuri Masjid for stunning view of sunrise or sunset. The evenings here are majestic. You can see locals all over around you celebrating their evening with flying kites and kite fighting also if lucky you can also see pigeon race competition among locals. These are some of must see things in old Delhi.You will witness some of the best blend of nature and human.PS: Do not forget to order for a tea at the entrance at ground floor and specially remind him twice to deliver the tea at the top.

This more than 300 year old red sandstone marvel reminds us of the glorious Indian history of Medieval era...The mosque also has an attached madrasa where islamic education is imparted to young students.. The central courtyard has graves of few people... It also has a Hauz in the centre for ablution, and taps for ablution on all three sides of the mosque..It is surrounded by a busy market from all three sides and a road from one of the sides leads to the Red Fort...It is a spiritual place and a great sight of relief for anyone visiting it...
One of the oldest mosque
Yes I have pray to the God here very spiritual place.
You can choose from lots of places to eat from nearby and there is a market for spectacles just near it you can buy cool frames and good quality glass in low price. Muaaz optical near fatehpuri mazjid gate is best shop for spectacles.
Old mosque in Delhi. There is an Islamic school (madrasa) also. It is a very big mosque with great facilities and the people are good.It was getting renovated when I was there, and hope to see it become even better.There are all sorts of dry fruit sellers around the mosque, and there is a busy market nearby.The mosque reminds me of the era of the Mughals. Nice and calm place for Muslims to worship God.
Beautiful masjid.❤
Very awesome area but so many crowdy .......and Historical place....
Free from the chaotic and busy street of Chandni Chowk. One can find here ample of peace in the courtyard of the mosque and colorful fishes in wuzu-khana.Moreover, its also a jama masjid built by Shah Jahan in the memoir of her wifes hometown i.e., Fatehpur.
Very rush in this area . If you need to visit delhi for you business purchasing them you can get cheap hotel there called sone Vyapari hotel and then do your purchasing in Chandni Chowk , chawdi bazaar and all
