Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad is situated near Charminar. Edit

Detail InformationEdit

The Mecca Masjid is the oldest mosque in Hyderabad . A listed heritage building in the city of Hyderabad, Mecca Masjid is a remarkable structure built in granite with beautiful interiors.Nearly 8,000 labourers were employed to build this imposing Masjid. As the visitors get past the main gateway and enter a huge court, a large pond of bluish waters welcomes them. On the periphery of the pond are two stone and slab benches and whoever sits on them, according to legend, returns to sit on them again. The main prayer hall of the Masjid rises 75 feet above the ground, sufficient to house ten thousand people at a time. It has five passageways. The roof of the main Masjid has fortifications made up of granite boards on all four sides. The roof is supported by 15 elegant arches, five each on all three sides. The fourth side is blocked by a high wall to provide ‘mehrab’ i.e. direction of prayer towards Mecca. There are five intricately arched smokescreens which have been carved out of a single portion of granite.There are also four minarets with spherical corners, arched galleries and octagonal balconies and a small dome above each. The domes at the apex of the Mecca Masjid were included in the mosque architecture by the Mughal emperors later. Inscriptions from the Holy Quran embellish many of the arches and doors of the Masjid. The floral motifs and frescoes over the arches display sculptural excellence and remind us about the emphasis given to details in the Qutub Shahi style of architecture.

The Mecca Masjid has within its premises the tombs of the Asaf Jahi dynasty rulers. The courtyard of the mosque has a room which stores some of the ancient and sacred relics and artefacts.

HistoryEdit

Mecca Masjid is the biggest mosque in Hyderabad and is situated near Charminar, Chowmahalla Palace and Laad Bazaar. The construction of Mecca Masjid was started by Sultan Mohammed Qutub Shah, but was completed after 77 years by Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb in 1694. The name is derived from the Grand Mosque at Mecca on which it is patterned. This mosque can accommodate ten thousand people at a time.The building of the Mecca Masjid was begun by Sultan Mohammed Quth Shah under the direction of Daroga Mir Faizullah Baig and Choudhary Rangaiah. Nearly 8000 masons and labourers worked on it. The construction work continued during the reigns of Abdullah Qutb Shah and Abul Hasan Tana Shah. Finally 77 years after it was begun, Mecca Masjid was completed in 1694 by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb.

S.D Road | Secunderabad, Hyderabad, India Edit

Detail InformationEdit

St. Joseph’s Cathedral Christmas has brought along good news for Andhra Pradesh. After many efforts, St. Mary’s Church, Secunderabad, is now awarded with the ‘Minor Basilica’ decree by Pope Benedict XVI, thus, making it the first church in State to get the decree. Basilicas are Catholic pilgrim sites, which receive large number of visitors every year and only the Pope can create a Basilica by a special decree, said Most Reverend Thumma Bala, Archbishop of Hyderabad, at a press conference here on Sunday. A formal announcement would be made on Christmas.

HistoryEdit

The church built in Indian Gothic style in 1840 is one of the oldest in the city. The four bells installed here were brought from Italy in 1901. Factors like number of visitors, heritage importance, relics or sacred images are looked into before declaring it as a Basilica, he said. As part of the expansion works, a new 24-hour small adoration chapel will be built in the church, besides a special museum depicting the basilicas history is also to be set up.
