Outside the day’s designated prayer times, the Jama Masjid welcomes visitors/tourists, provided their attire is “modest” and their behaviour respectful.

Fridays are best-avoided; on every other day your visit is likely to prove uncrowded and rewarding…almost certainly, much more “serene” than the surrounding streets of Old Delhi!

Visiting hours: 7am to midday and 1.30 pm to 6.30 pm.

Humans are not charged a fee, but your camera will incur (an affordable) one.

If your lens is deemed “too long”, it will not be admitted.

Prayer times change, according the solar calendar; a simple google search for “today’s prayer times Jama Masjid Delhi” will yield the necessary details.
