Armageddon (1998)

Corrected entry: In the movie they show people around the world praying. They show a shot of Taj Mahal in India and hundreds sitting around praying. Oops, Taj Mahal is not a place of worship, it's a tomb.

Correction: It is a tomb; it is also a place of worship. Mosques and tombs often go together - much like churches and graveyards I assume.

Er, not in India. There is no religious significance to the Taj Mahal.

There is a mosque (and jawab) attached to the tomb, so they are probably praying to the mosque but there being so many they are praying outside in the courtyard. They pray to the east so towards the Taj Mahal, so it looks like they are praying to the tomb, but they are not.
