This is the biggest mosque in Hyderabad and lies within hundred yards to the southwest of Charminar. The name is derived from the Grand Mosque at Mecca on which it is patterned. The hall measures 67 mt. by 54 mt. and is 23 mt. in height. Fifteen arches, five on each of the three sides, support the roof.The mosque is made out of a single piece of granite each topped by an arched gallery that is crowned by a dome. The mosque is one of the largest in India and can accommodate ten thousand people at a time.
During Ramzan the mosque is full of devout muslims who come there to offer their prayers and listen to the repetitive recitation of Quran called "Taravi".People break their fast at around 6 o clock in the evening where all the devouts get something to eat and refresh themselves.
