Jama Masjid, Shamsi

Jama Masjid, Shamsi is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Jama Masjid, Shamsi rather than just read about it. In short: The Jama Masjid Shamsi (Hindi: जामा मस्जिद शम्सी), also known as the Jama Shamsi Shahi, and the Great Mosque of Budaun, is a Friday mosque built in the historic centre of Budaun, in the Bareilly division of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The mosque is a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India, and is a National Heritage Site.

Key takeaways

Jama Masjid, Shamsi belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Jama Masjid, Shamsi to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Jama Masjid, Shamsi from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Jama Masjid Shamsi (Hindi: जामा मस्जिद शम्सी), also known as the Jama Shamsi Shahi, and the Great Mosque of Budaun, is a Friday mosque built in the historic centre of Budaun, in the Bareilly division of the state of Uttar Pradesh, India. The mosque is a Monument of National Importance, administered by the Archaeological Survey of India, and is a National Heritage Site.

Architecture The mosque was built in the 13th century by Iltutmish, the ruler of the Delhi Sultanate at that time. The style of the mosque echoes Persian and Afghan architecture. It has three gates: the main gate, facing Shakeel Road, is made of red marble and is 30 metres (100 ft) high. The second gate is in Farshori Tola and the third one in Sotha. It has a central dome surrounded by two more domes and five other domes. The floor is made from white marble (SangeMarMar). It has a hauz (pond) and three wuzukhana on its premises. Two sides of the mosque are occupied by residential blocks: the Jama Masjid Quarters. The mosque is built on an elevated area called Sotha Mohalla, and is the highest structure in the town of Budaun. The mosque is the third-oldest existing and seventh-largest mosque in the country after Delhi's Jama Masjid, with a capacity of 23,500 worshippers. The built-up part of the mosque is larger than that of any other mosque in the country. Before the expansion of Delhi's Jama Masjid, it was the largest and most famous mosque of the country. The central dome of the mosque is the largest dome of any mosque in the country.

Links with Hinduism In October 2022, right-wing Hindu nationalist organisations claimed the site as one where a Hindu temple served as a foundation for the mosque. They called for demolishing the mosque for what they called reclaiming the site as a Hindu temple.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jama Masjid, Shamsi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jama Masjid, Shamsi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Jama Masjid, Shamsi before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Jama Masjid, Shamsi ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Jama Masjid, Shamsi

In research: Jama Masjid, Shamsi appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Jama Masjid, Shamsi in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Jama Masjid, Shamsi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1223 establishments in Asia, 13th-century establishments in India, 13th-century mosques in Asia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jama Masjid, Shamsi outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
