Sultan
Ahmed
Shah
mosque
in
Amdavad
is
a
religious
place
for
Muslims
that
is
well
known
for
its
architectural
designing.
It
was
constructed
in
the
year
1414
A.D.
by
Sultan
Ahmed
Shah,
the
founder
of
Amdavad
city.
Thus,
the
mosque
has
been
named
after
its
founder.
Lying
on
the
left
side
of
the
famous
Bhadra
Fort,
the
mosque
is
very
appealing
to
look
at.
It
is
one
of
the
oldest
mosques
of
Amdavad.The
prayer
halls
(Mehrabs)
of
the
Ahmad
Shah
mosque
have
been
intricately
designed
using
black
and
white
marbles.
There
is
a
separate
chamber
for
women
in
the
mosque.
Towards
the
north
east
corner,
lies
the
prayer
room
for
women,
which
is
more
popularly
known
as
'Zenana'.
The
Ahmad
Shah's
Mosque
in
Amdavad,
Gujarat
was
initially
a
holy
place
meant
only
for
the
royal
class.
Only
the
nobles
could
come
here
for
worshipping.
Well,
when
it
comes
to
holy
places,
it
is
one
of
the
most
sought
after
tourist
destinations
in
Amdavad.
