Jaipur: Jama Masjid, Johari Bazaar
The Vibe:A working mosque, inside the bazaar.
Set on Johari Bazaar within the walled city, this mosque follows the same pink sandstone palette as the surrounding streets. It is an active place of worship serving the old city's Muslim community.
Bazaar noise drops sharply once you pass through the gate. Arcaded courtyards hold cool shade against the crowded street outside.
