"Dress conservatively. Both men and women should not wear sleeveless clothing and must cover their legs and head. If you are unsure of your attire, rent a robe from the North Gate.
You will need to remove your shoes. You can either leave them at the door where there are people who look after them for you (you will have to give them a tip) or put them inside your backpack or purse. Also, they will provide you with a robe to put on for women and
Tip: Bring socks so that you're not walking barefoot inside (if the sun is very strong, the stone floor will be very hot).
You can also use slippers (the ones hotels provide or reusable ones that you can buy online) "

"The largest Islamic mosque in the city, Jama Masjid, was constructed way back in the 17th century. The imposing building is an iconic landmark of Old Delhi and an important place of worship. The mosque can hold up to 25,000 people and the sight of such a number, especially during Friday prayers, is a scene to behold. The main structure has multiple entry points, all of which eventually lead to the main deck. Entry is free and open to all nationalities, except that you need to cover up from head to toe. A nominal fee for photography is levied if one intends to take pictures."

"Jama Masjid, the colossal mosque of Old Delhi, where the Friday prayers bring together Delhi's Muslim community. Built between 1644 and 1656 by Shah Jahan, it's like an oasis of peace amidst Old Delhi's chaos, with a courtyard big enough to fit 25,000 people. The 40 meters tall minarets give you a bird's-eye view of the bustling streets below."
