Prayer
Prayers inside Central Jamia Mosque

Central Jamia Mosque Ghamkol Sharif is said to be the biggest in Europe with space to accommodate nearly 5,000 worshippers.

The mosque is named after a Sufi Saint, Ghamkol Sharif.

It is a most impressive building: from outside, the dome and minaret can be seen from a good distance away.

Inside the rooms are richly decorated with marble walls and chandeliers.
