Last
night, Tania, myself and a couple of others went on a tour of Old Delhi, to the
Jama Masjid mosque (built in
the 17th Century), to watch the breaking of the Ramadan fast.
Our tour guide was a lovely woman
called Navina
Jafa, who runs tours around Delhi and throughout India.
We
were also treated to something special this night: we were shown some of the
relics of the mosques. These include:
A 14th
Century copy of the first chapter of the Koran
A
sandal owned by Muhammad
A lock
of hair from Muhammad
An
imprint of Muhammad’s foot in stone
Families
and friends set up their picnics in the main square, waiting for the Iman to
call sunset and the end of the fast.
It
was something special to see.
I
hope you like the photos:
