View of the Jama Masjid of Delhi from across the land around the secondary gatehouse. The gatehouse is decorated with iwans, and a set of large pyramid-shaped stairs leads up to the front of the gatehouse. A cloister runs around the edges of the mosque's courtyard, and features scalloped arches, a parapet, and cupolas atop each corner. The domes and minarets of the mosque are visible in the background. Several men can be seen across the land surrounding the mosque.
