#JamaMasjid is #Delhi’s principal mosque, the place where the city’s Muslims traditionally gather for Friday communal prayer; Jama Masjid is Arabic for “#FridayMosque.” The mosque is near the Red Fort, yet another of Shah Jahān’s buildings. Jama Masjid and its courtyard stand on an outcropping more than 30 steps higher than the street, giving the mosque a commanding view of the surrounding area. The longer name, Masjid-i Jahānnumā, translates to “world-reflecting mosque” or “world-displaying mosque.” The mosque was built by a crew of some 5,000 workers. https://www.instagram.com/p/COIJcSVh-7Y/?igshid=16iza6niuq0qe

“The square, the most externalised form of creation, represents, as earth, the polar condition of quantity, whereas the circle, as heaven, represents quality; the integration of the two is through the triangle, which embodies both aspects. The square of earth is the base upon which the Intellect acts in order to reintegrate the earthly into the circle of heaven. Reversing the analogy, the square, as the symbol of the manifestation of the last of the created worlds, reverts to the first; thus the heavenly Jerusalem is seen as a square in its qualities of permanence and immutability, and the circle is seen as earthly Paradise. The end of the world is seen symbolically as the “squaring of the circle” - the time when heaven manifests itself as a square, and the cosmic rhythm, integrating itself into this square, ceases to move”
