Mosque And Tomb of Rani Sipri
Near Astodia Darwaja in the south of the city, the small and elegant mosque of Rani Sipri was built in 1514 AD at the queen's behest. Her grave lies in front, sheltered by a pillared mausoleum. The stylish mosque shows more Hindu influence than any where in Ahmedabad, with several Hindu carvings and an absence of arches. Its pillared sanctuary has an open façade to the east and fine travery work on the west wall.
