who built the red fort and the jama masjid in delhi
Jama Masjid, Delhi Mughal emperor Shah Jahan built the Jama Masjid between 1644 and 1656. It was constructed by more than 5000 workers. It was originally called Masjid-i-Jahan-Numa, meaning 'mosque commanding view of the world'. The construction was done under the supervision of Saadullah Khan, wazir (or prime minister) during Shah Jahan's rule. The cost of the construction at the time was one million Rupees.[1] Shah Jahan also built the Taj Mahal, at Agra and the Red Fort in New Delhi, which stands opposite the Jama Masjid. The Jama Masjid was completed in 1656 AD (1066 AH).[1] The mosque was inaugurated by an Imam Bukhari, a mullah from Bukhara, Uzbekistan, on 23 July 1656, on the invitation from Shah Jahan.[2] About 25,000 people can pray in the courtyard at a time and it is sometimes regarded as India's largest mosque.[3][4] The mosque is commonly called "Jama" which means Friday.[1]
Delhi Metro The first line of the Delhi Metro, the Red Line, was inaugurated by Atal Bihari Vajpayee, the Prime Minister of India, on 24 December 2002.[20] The Delhi Metro became the second underground rapid transit system in India, after the Kolkata Metro, when the Vishwa Vidyalayaâ€“Kashmere Gate section of the Yellow Line opened on 20 December 2004.[21] The first phase of the project was eventually completed in 2006,[22][23] on budget and almost three years ahead of schedule, an achievement described by Business Week as "nothing short of a miracle".[24]
