Muhafiz Khan Mosque, 15th century mosque in Ahmedabad, India
Three arched entrances and two minarets reaching 55 feet high define the exterior structure of this 51-foot-long and 36-foot-wide religious building.
Governor Jamail-ud-Din Muhafiz Khan commissioned the construction of this mosque in 1465 during the reign of Sultan Mahmud Shah I of Gujarat.
The monument incorporates Persian design elements with regional building methods, representing the architectural practices of Gujarat during Islamic rule.
The Archaeological Survey of India maintains this religious site, which continues to function as an active place of worship in central Ahmedabad.
Wooden replicas of this mosque, created by Alexander Forbes, are displayed at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London since the 19th century.
