The congregational mosque of Dihlī covers a wide area. Its walls, roof and paving are all of white stone, most exquisitely carved and most skilfully joined with lead, and there is no wood in it at all. It has thirteen domes of stone, its minbar is also of stone, and it has four courtyards. In the middle of the mosque is the awesome pillar of which no one knows what metal it is made.
