Jama Masjid, Ahmedabad, India
The main entrance to the Jama Masjid, also known as the Siddi Sayyed Mosque, was built in 1423 by Sultan Ahmed Shah I, the founder of the city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat. The mosque is built in the local Gujarati variation of the Indo Islamic style of architecture, characterised by a largely trabeate structural system and highly ornate surface decoration.
