Shahi Jam-e-Masjid, also known as Ahmed Shah's Mosque, is a historic mosque located in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. Built in 1414 by Sultan Ahmed Shah, the founder of Ahmedabad, the mosque is one of the oldest and most significant religious structures in the city. The mosque was originally constructed as a private place of worship for the royal family and nobles.
The mosque's architecture is a blend of Hindu and Islamic styles, featuring beautifully carved stone pillars, intricate jali screens, and an elaborately carved ceiling reminiscent of Hindu and Jain temples. The mosque is supported by 152 pillars and has two rows of ten large domes surrounded by several smaller domes.
The courtyard of the mosque contains a mound called Ganj Shahid, which is the tomb of warriors who perished in Sultan Ahmed's early battles.
