Marvel at Istiqlal Mosque

Istiqlal Mosque has the claim to fame of being the largest mosque in Southeast Asia and has a capacity of 120,000 worshippers at any one time. It is located near to the national monument of Monas so it makes sense to visit both at the same time. Some things to look out for here include the beautiful Islamic motifs such as stars used to decorate the mosque as well as the water features that are repeated inside. Non-Muslims are welcome to visit the mosque outside of prayer times providing that they dress modestly. #themepark

The most futuristic Istiqlal Mosque 🕌 🇮🇩

#indonesiatrip I've been to mosques in various countries, and the grand Islamic mosques are always breathtaking and impressive! 🕌 This one in Southeast Asia is the largest building, with a striking white dome that looks futuristic under the sky. It's open to foreigners at 4 pm, but you can explore freely earlier. Just like other mosques, remember to take off your shoes. Inside, you'll find people praying or taking photos, creating a sense of freedom and equality. The modern interior is uniquely designed, with a stainless steel dome that resembles a celestial eye. The metal pillars reflect light beautifully, giving a futuristic vibe. From the outdoor atrium, you can see the Independence Monument and Jakarta Cathedral, symbolizing harmonious coexistence of different religions. 🌟

Istiqal Mosque: Independence in Jakarta

#winhkflight Istiqlal Mosque in Jakarta, Indonesia is the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, third largest mosque in the world and the ninth largest mosque in the world in terms of worshipper capacity. Built to commemorate Indonesian independence, this national mosque of Indonesia was named "Istiqlal", an Arabic word for "independence". Magnificent internal structure. I highly recommend to book tour guide who can explain the history to you. The history and architecture are interesting. I want to travel to Hong Kong and explore the cultural history in Hong Kong!

Istiqlal Mosque is one of the largest in the world. Opened in 1978 by the first President of Indonesia Soekarno. A must see for the travelers to Jakarta. It will be a nice spiritual experience for the Muslim travelers to pray in this mosque together with a large gathering. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

When you are in Jakarta visit this place. It is huge and there is a separate registration for foreigners. They also provide cloaks if one is wearing shorts. Entrance is free however the tourist desk would ask for some voluntary contribution. #happynewyear
