DESCRIPTION

Bird's Eye View of the Jama Masjid, attributed to the Lucknow artist, Mihr Chnad. While the details are sometimes inaccurate (the asymmetrical arches of the iwan for instance), yet the realistic view of the city includes the walls, the Ajmeri and the Lahori gates linked by the Lal kuan Bazaar, the Fatehpuri Masjid and the western end of the Chandni Chowk with the Golden Mosque of Roshanuddaula.
