Magen Abraham Synagogue, Orthodox synagogue in Old Town, Ahmedabad, India

The Magen Abraham Synagogue exhibits Art Deco architecture with marble floors, Grecian pillars supporting a triangular roof, and a central prayer area with movable pews.

The synagogue opened in 1934 through donations from the Bene Israel Jewish community and was named after Dr. Abraham Erulkar, one of the first Jews in Ahmedabad.

The synagogue interior contains multiple Torah scrolls in the Ark, features a women's balcony, and maintains religious artifacts including stained glass windows and chandeliers.
