Jama Masjid

Constructed in 1424 by Sultan Ahmed Shah, the Jama Masjid stands as one of India’s most beautiful Friday mosques. Located in the heart of old Ahmedabad, the structure is renowned for its yellow sandstone architecture and 260 pillars supporting fifteen domes. The vast courtyard offers a peaceful retreat from the bustling city markets. Its intricate carvings and mesh-work windows (jalis) perfectly represent the Indo-Saracenic style, making it a cornerstone of Gujarat’s architectural history.
