Sidi Saiyyed Mosque, Mosque in Ahmedabad, India.

The mosque features ten stone lattice windows with intricate patterns of intertwined trees, branches, and palm fronds carved into yellow sandstone arches.

Built in 1573 by Sidi Saiyyed, an African-origin nobleman, this mosque represents the final architectural work of the Gujarat Sultanate before the Mughal invasion.

The central lattice window design became the symbol of Ahmedabad city and influenced the logo of the Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad.

The mosque remains open throughout the day and night, though finding parking space near the premises requires advanced planning.

During British colonial rule, the building functioned as an administrative office for the Mamlatdar of Dascrohi, leading to structural modifications.
