New Delhi - Mosque

We also visited one of the largest mosques in New Delhi. For your information, mosques are for muslims, temples are for the buddhist, hindus, and jewish?.

We were required to remove our shoes before entering the mosque and wear shawls so that our shoulders and arms were covered. Be warned. Hahaha.

The mosque...there were a lot of people and birds.

See the gate again...and the birds...

Inside the mosque, it was really simple. But I think women aren't really allowed inside because we got strange looks from the people there.

The tower on the left side can be climbed by the public. So of course, K and I did. I forgot how many steps it was, but it was a lot of spirally small steps in a dark dank tower...

But the view at the top was worth it...
