At a distance of 2.5 Kms from Bangalore City Railway Station, Jamia Masjid is the most impressive mosque in Bangalore, situated near City Market. It dazzles in the sun with its exterior of pristine white marble from Rajasthan.
Rayyaz Asifuddin from Hyderabad designed it and the foundation stone was laid by Sir Mirza Ismail (Dewan of Mysore) in 1940. Its balconies are exquisitely fashioned with carvings. It is a five-storied structure, which can accommodate up to 10,000 devotees. The atmosphere inside the mosque is cool, serene and airy, with an ablution pool in the centre.
Large number of Muslim worshippers throng this masjid during the festivals.
