The Haji Ali Mosque is a place of worship for Sunni Indians, located on a small island 500 meters from the coast in Mumbai. It was built in 1431 by the Muslim merchant Haji Ali, later, before the pilgrimage to Mecca, who distributed his wealth to people. The grave (darga) of Haji Ali is located near the mosque and is covered with red-green brocade in a silver frame. The main hall of the mosque is decorated with marble pillars inscribed with 99 names of Allah. In 1944, the road to the island was built, but the monsoons constantly wash it away and the road is built again every time. At times of high tides up to 5 meters high, the road is flooded and you can only get to the mosque by boat. On Thursdays and Fridays - the main prayer days for Muslims - the mosque is visited by up to 40 thousand people.
