Sidi Saiyyed Mosque

Famous above all for its exquisitely carved stone lattice windows, this small late-16th-century mosque is one of Ahmedabad's most beloved landmarks. The intricate jali screen depicting a tree with intertwining branches has become an emblem of the city and inspired the logo of a leading management institute. Built during the last years of the Gujarat Sultanate, the mosque stands amid busy traffic yet draws steady streams of admirers. The interplay of light through its filigree stonework is best appreciated in the soft hours of morning.
