Jami Masjid, Ahmedabad

Last week I went to Jami Masjid, Ahmedabad it’s very amazing to see this place.

Jama Masjid (literally Friday Mosque), also known as Jumah Mosque, is a mosque in Ahmedabad, built in 1424 during the reign of Ahmed Shah I. Lying in the old walled city, the mosque is situated outside Bhadra Fort area, along the south side of the road extending from Teen Darwaza to Manek Chowk.

Architecture: Built with yellow sandstone, the mosque complex is centered on a large rectangular courtyard 75 m long and 66 m wide. One enters the court by three entrances, one at the center of each side. The courtyard is lined with a colonnade on three sides, the prayer hall occupies the fourth (east) side. In the center of the courtyard is a rectangular basin for ablutions.

History:

The inscription on the mihrab commemorates the inauguration of the mosque on 4 January 1424 by Sultan Ahmad Shah I. The mosque was originally intended only for private use of the sultans.
