Must see: Amazing picture of empty Jama Masjid on Ramzan’s 1st day, first since 1857

The historical Jama Masjid, Delhi, stands totally empty on the first day of the Ramzan under the impact of the nationwide Coronavirus lockdown.

This is for the first time since 1857 that not a single namazi has turned up at the grand mosque to offer prayers on the first day of the holy Ramzan.

In 1857, a pall of gloom set upon Delhi as the British East India Company quelled the Sepoy Mutiny, which some historians have arguably described as India’s first war of Independence, and brought a formal end to the Mughal Empire in India by imprisoning then emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar and executed two of his sons.
