Picture of Blue Mosque Interior

Interior of the Blue Mosque, with soaring domes above and lush carpets for prayer below.

The structure seen straight ahead is a müezzin mahfili, a platform used by the muezzin (mosque official) when chanting responses to the prayers of the imam (head of the mosque).
