Sarkhej Roza, Mosque and tomb complex in Makarba district, Ahmedabad, India.
Description
Sarkhej Roza is a tomb and mosque in Makarba district, Ahmedabad, set across a large compound with several buildings and an adjoining water body. The complex brings together religious structures, pavilions, and residential areas linked by open courtyards and low walls.
History
Sultan Muhammad Shah II ordered the first construction in 1445 as a burial site for Sufi saint Ahmed Khattu Ganj Baksh. Sultan Mahmud Begada later expanded the grounds and added palaces and further structures.
Culture
The architectural design merges Islamic west Asian patterns with Hindu decorative elements, reflecting the cultural synthesis of 15th-century Gujarat under the sultanate rule.
Practical
The compound opens at dawn and closes at dusk, with stone walkways linking the different buildings. A separate entrance leads to the lake, which sits on one side of the complex.
Did you know?
Two Persian architects, Azam and Muazzam Khan, designed the entire compound and arranged their own graves within the complex. Their burial sites sit in a separate area near the main buildings.
