28 December 2021. I have paraphrased the information given at the Mandu Tourism, Sarmaya, British Library, Wikipedia and ASI websites and added my thoughts about Delhi Gate at Mandu. This has been done with the aim of not only giving historical information but also making it more interesting to read. (I hope 😊) Jama Masjid and Jami Masjid are one and the same as this imposing monument of Mandu is called by people by both these names. Located right at most congested area and at the heart of commercial hub of Mandu. Construction of Jami Masjid was started by Hoshsang Shah but completed by Mahmud Khilji in A.D. 1454 It is a grand monument and made even more imposing by the giant plinth which is a 15 feet high square. The plinth has arched rooms for the visitors or at one time for the employees of the mosque. Today it is difficult to these due to the cars, taxies and carts selling food / souvenirs / and general merchandise that are parked all along the plinth on either side of the staircase leading to the top of the plinth. Visitors climbing the stairs reach a huge arched doorway. Massive teak doors fitted there are still going strong. Beyond the teak door is a huge room with the roof of a massive dome. The inner side of the dome has arches all around with artistic designs. On passing through this room, one comes to a big courtyard enclosed within the three sides of long pillared corridors. The pillared corridor facing the entry gate is dominated by three domes. Tin all there are three bigger and 54 smaller domes. The central pillared corridor is deep was very spacious. It was the main prayer hall. There are 17 arched niches in the rear wall. They have beautiful engraving in Hindu design. The central niche is decorated in verses from the Quran Arabic script. It was the mihrab. Next to it is a raised pulpit beautifully made in marble. ASI has done a wonderful job in restoring the pillars, arches and corridors. Our guide told us that much before the establishment of the Khilji sultanate this area was ruled by the Hindu kings of the Parmar dynasty. Jama Masjid was the place of their Durbar. That is the reason for Indian designs on the pillars and arches etc. King used to sit on a throne, the raised marble structure which today is being referred to as the main pulpit. However, could not find anything to support this statement. Fun to walk around this great monument.

Patan was the capital of Gujarat for 650 years, from 745 to 1411 CE. It was also a thriving centre of Jainism. The Rani-ki-Vav or The Queen's stepwell was built by Queen Udaymati in memory of her late husband king Bhima I. It is the only monument in Gujarat built by a queen in memory of her husband.. The Rani-ki-Vav remained largely buried under massive silting deposits, barely apparent but never lost in time. It is a monument of national importance protected by ASI [Archeological Survey of India]. It is also listed as the World Heritage Site UNESCO. Rani-ki-Vav is a seven-story stepwell Keywords-Rank-Ki-Vav, Queen stepwell at Patan, Heritage of Gujarat, Architectural Conservation, Water bodies of India, Māru-Gurjara architecture, Queen Udaimati
