Sarkhej Roza, Mosque and tomb complex in Makarba district, Ahmedabad, India.

The Sarkhej Roza compound incorporates a mosque, mausoleum, palace, and lake across its 34-acre grounds with Indo-Saracenic architectural elements throughout the structures.

Sultan Muhammad Shah II commissioned the initial construction in 1445 as a tomb for Sufi saint Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh, with Sultan Mahmud Begada later expanding the site.

The architectural design merges Islamic west Asian patterns with Hindu decorative elements, reflecting the cultural synthesis of 15th-century Gujarat under the sultanate rule.

The monument remains accessible from dawn until dusk, with stone pathways connecting the various structures and a separate entrance leading to the adjacent lake.

The complex features two Persian architects' tombs, Azam and Muazzam Khan, who designed the entire compound and incorporated their final resting place within it.
