Close up of the flower patterns
-
The front main door of the main prayer room
-
The towers with overlooking balconies
-
Stepping into the inner areas of the mosque
-
mmm squeaky clean!
-
Even the flooring marble patterns are all intricately laid out
-
The inner walkways with the iconic gold palm pillars
-
The holding room before the main prayer room
-
View of the roof candelier
-
Looks like jeff needs some additional clothing to enter. :P
-
It already looks reall good in here
-
lets head into the main prayer room
-
Looking out through the main doors into the courtyard
-
Oh wow!
-
and has space for a total of 40,000 devotees
-
The central candelier viewed directly from below
-
The sights just gets better with each turn!
-
The main prayer stand
-
The place is nicely carpeted
-
Few of the nicely decorated pillars within the hall
-
view of the central area from the sides
-
making our humble exit from the halls
-
Couldn't get enough of perfection?
-
and is home to few nice gardens too
-
Strange that all the water ponds are all dry
-
feast your eyes on these!
-
view of the exterior gardens within the Mosque compound
-
The mosque also spots 82 domes in total of different sizes
-
Oh at least there's some water bodies here
-
Fountains are like an oasis here, a rare sight indeed
-
This one jumps too!
-
Taking a walk by the gardens by the main building
-
And an occasional duck into the walkways to escape the burning desert sun
-
Sigh, views you can never get tried of
-
The mosque actually spots a fusion of different architectures
-
namely Arab, Mughal and Moorish architecture.
-
No expense were spared in the washing area too, they look fantastic
-
between each pillar structure sits a rather neat looking stained glass flower
-
The Ablution areas are located in the basement
-
Being the 20th century, is accessible by escalators. :P
-
The Ablution central drinking fountain
-
You need to don slippers to visit the toilets too
-
Possibly one of the nicest toilets on our trip!
-
Even the toilets are beautifully decorated
-
The galleries to the washing areas
-
As the sun sets
-
The hallways cast real nice shadows from the openings
-
Everything seems to line up pretty well here.
-
Time to bid farewell to the mosque for now.
