Sidi Saiyyed Mosque

The Sidi Saiyyed Mosque is popularly known as Sidi Saiyyid ni Jali. The mosque is one of the most famous mosques of Ahmedabad, a city in the state of Gujarat, India. The mosque was built by Sidi Sayyad, a Habshi nobleman, in 1572–73.

The mosque is entirely arcuated and is known for its ten intricately carved stone latticework windows (jalis) on the side and rear arches. The rear wall is filled with square stone pierced panels in geometrical designs.

The central window arch of the mosque, where one would expect to see another intricate jali, is instead walled with stone.  This is possibly because the mosque was not completed according to plan before the Mughals invaded Gujarat.
