Rani Sipri's
Mosque, Ahmedabad
This small mosque outh-east of the city is also known as the Masjid-e-Nagira
(Jewel of a Mosque) because of its extremely graceful and well-executed design.
Its slender minarets again blend Hindu and Islamic style. The mosque is said to
have been commissioned in 1514 by the wife of Sultan Mahmud Begada after he
executed their son for some minor misdemeanour and she is in fact buried here.
