Description

The Heart of Chechnya Mosque - in terms of size and capacity, it is just behind the Moscow Cathedral Mosque and the Central Juma Mosque in Makhachkala. It is modelled on the Blue Mosque in Istanbul

Another special part of any mosque is the prayer niche mihrab. It faces Mecca, indicating the direction for prayer. In the Heart of Chechnya, the mihrab is incredibly large - more than 4 metres wide and about 8 metres high - and has a unique composition. The intersecting marble elements created the illusion of an infinite recess of the niche's recess
