Around the World

One of the recommended tourist places to visit on the travel itinerary to Ahmedabad is the Rani Sipri Masjid. The Rani Sipri Masjid (mosque) was built in 1514 A.D. by Rani Sabrai, widow of Sultan Mahmud Shah I Begada, during the reign of Sultan Muzzafar Shah II. The designs with a lot of floral motifs reflect feminine grace and the beautiful, intricate sculptural work has given the mosque the title of 'Masjid-e-Nagina'.&nbsp

Better known as the "Jaali" mosque due to its famous stone latticed carvings in the semi-circular window arches, the Sidi Saeed mosque is located in the heart of the city of Ahmedabad. It is well worth a visit, ideally in the late evening, to see the beautiful play of light as the setting sun's rays hit the windows' latticed carvings. 

Sarkhej Roza, built at the advent of the Sultanate era, is a place of peace and serenity, with people of all faiths visiting it either to simply spend quiet time with their families (when we visited, there were a lot of families with their kids) or to offer prayers for the well-being of their loved ones. Sarkhej Roza is a unique   complex encompassing 34 acres, combining the Persian, Hindu and Jain architectural features to form what is known as "Indo-Saracenic" architectural style.
